Alex's pov
Hermione's questions were getting to me. What is she thinking Sirius is being tortured and were sitting here arguing!
"Hermione I don't care how the hell any of this happened all know is that we have to go there now! So stop arguing!"
She was silent but I could see she still wanted to argue about this.
"But what if this is all a trap-"
"I DON'T HAVE TIME TO SIT HERE AND FIGURE OUT IF THIS IS REAL OR NOT DAMMIT!" I made to walk out of the classroom but Harry wrapped his arms around my waist and held me back.
"Exactly how the hell do you expect to get over there Alexandra?"
I put all my weight on him and he dropped me to the floor.
"Just hurry up and think of something" I said as my eyesight went blurry from the moisture on my eyes. I stayed at the floor and wrapped my arms around my knees and hugged them to my chest.
I really don't know when Luna and Ginny joined but they all decided we were going to go into umbridge's office and check to see if Sirius was in Grimmauld place.
We quickly put the plan into action. They would help cause a distraction and Harry and I would sneak into umbridge's office and use the Floo network.
Harry and I hurried over to the dormitories to go get the invisibility cloak then we hurried back to the corridor where umbridge's office was, everyone else was there.
We put the plan into action and everyone was off.
"Get over here" Harry said and he threw the invisibility cloak over the both of us.
"Okay Alex" Harry whispered as we moved forward. "I'm going to check and see if Sirius is there at Grimmauld place if someone is coming you will hear the signal. It's a chorus of weasley is our king if they see Umbridge coming"
"All right" I whispered back. Harry opened the door with the knife Sirius had given him for Christmas. And we went into the horrible office of Umbridge with the nasty cats.
Quickly Harry pulled of the cloak and took the Floo powder and stuck his head into the fireplace. I walked over to the window and peered down at the grounds with my wand out
"Grimmauld place!" I heard Harry shout.
I was extremely impatient. I didn't see the point of this. It was obvious that Sirius wasn't over there, we are just wasting time! The minutes passed and I thought it was awfully quiet. Just then umbridge's door burst open. Before I could react Umbridge was at the fire place pulling Harry out by the head.
Malfoy took my wand and stood behind me making sure that I didn't try anything funny.
They took Harry's wand from him as well.
"With whom have you been communicating?" I heard Umbridge say. She had Harry by the hair and was bending his head back to the point I thought she was going to snap his neck.
Furious I made to go towards her but Malfoy caught me and wrapped an arm around my neck almost choking me.
Despite her question Harry didn't say anything. Minutes later more slytherins came in each one them holding on person. Ron, Luna, Ginny, Hermione, and Neville.
She ordered one of the slytherins to go get snape.
Of course! Snape! Why didn't we think of this earlier? He's from the order he can help us!
"You're choking me you fucker!" I said after a moment of silence. I could feel my head getting lighter.
Harry's head snapped over to look at me and he looked ready to kill.
"Let go of her!" he barked.
"Mr. Malfoy release her. We don't want you to be charged with murder." Umbridge said in a sickly sweet voice.
Malfoy snickered and let go of me. I gasped and drew in a ragged breath, Harry went over to me checking to see if I was fine.
Right then the slytherin walked in closely followed by snape.
"You wanted to see me, headmistress?" he asked looking around at all of us.
She wanted veritaserum to question Harry. But he had no more. Umbridge only seemed to get more enraged by his response.
Harry and I thought desperately of what we had seen. Hoping he would read our mind.
As he turned to leave Harry spoke desperately.
"He's got padfoot!" he shouted. "He's got padfoot at the place where it's hidden!"
Snape stopped
"Padfoot?" Umbridge asked eagerly. "What is padfoot? What does he mean snape?"
I looked at him. Pleading him with my eyes but his cold eyes just stared at me with no emotion whatsoever.
Please understand, please…
"I have no idea" he said coldly and my heart froze and dropped. He looked at Harry.
"Potter when I want nonsense shouted at me I shall give you a babbling beverage."
And he was gone like. Our last hope had just left.
I couldn't help but scream in frustration.
Umbridge seemed just as frustrated as I.
"Very well" she said pulling out her wand and looking like she had lost her mind. "Very well…I am left with no other alternative…this is more than a matter of school discipline…this is an issue of ministry security….yes…yes
"You are forcing me potter…I do not want to, but sometime circumstances justify the use…I'm sure the minister will understand that I had no choice…"
"The cruciatus curse ought to loosen your tongue"
"It's illegal" I argued sounding lifeless.
"What Cornelius doesn't know won't hurt him" Umbridge said panting slightly.
I watched in horror as she pointed her wand to me. She was hoping one of us would speak up either from the pain felt or the pain the other would feel from having to watch the other suffer.
"He never knew I ordered dementors after the potters last summer, but he was delighted to be given the chance to expel both of them all the same…"
"You" I growled. "You sent them after us?"
"Somebody had to act" she said now pointing her wand directly at my forehead. "They were all bleating about silencing you two somehow-discrediting you- but I was the one that actually did something about it."
She took a deep breath and I squeezed my eyes shut.
"cruc-"
"NO!" I heard Harry and Hermione shout at the same time. I opened my eyes and Harry took me by the shoulders and shielded me with his body.
"Harry!" Hermione cried desperately. "We'll have to tell her!"
Don't be stupid Hermione!
"Well, well, well," Umbridge said triumphantly. "Little miss question-all is going to give us some answers! Come on then, girl come on!"
I heard Ron protest.
"I'm-I'm sorry everyone," Hermione said sounding like she was crying. "But- I cant- I can't stand it-"
"That's right, that's right girl" Umbridge said. I gentle pushed Harry away to be able to see. He looked down at me and I gave him a reassuring smile.
"Now then with whom was potter communicating just now?"
"Well" she began. No Hermione "well, he was trying to speak to professor Dumbledore"
I catched on to what she was doing.
"Dumbledore?" Umbridge asked. "You know where Dumbledore is then?"
I stepped in.
"Of course not" I said angrily. "Can you blame us for trying though? We tried the leaky cauldron in diagon alley and the three broomsticks…hell we even tried the hogs head!"
"Idiot girl, Dumbledore won't be sitting in a pub when the whole ministry's looking for him"
"We needed to tell him something important!" sobbed Hermione as she hid her face in her hands.
"Yes?" Umbridge said sounding completely mad.
"What was it you wanted to tell him?"
"We wanted to tell him it's r-ready!" Hermione choked.
"What's ready" Umbridge said shaking Hermione slightly. "What's ready girl?"
"The…the weapon"
"Weapon? Weapon?" she said excitedly. "You have been developing some method of resistance? A weapon you could use against the ministry? On professor Dumbledore's order of course?"
"Yes" I said playing along, going so far as to put on a scared expression. "But he had to leave before it was finished and now we've finished it for him, and we can't find him to tell him" I said in a low scared voice.
"What kind of weapon is it?"
"We don't r-r-really understand professor" Hermione sobbed. "We j-j-just did what p-p-professor Dumbledore told us t-t-to do…"
Umbridge straightened up.
"Lead me to the weapon"
Oh we would…if we had a weapon!
"I'm not showing…them" Hermione said looking at the slytherins.
"It is not for you to set conditions" Umbridge said harshly.
But in the end we had it our way. Umbridge made Hermione Harry and I go with her. I didn't know what Hermione planned on doing but I followed silently. Umbridge walked behind us pointing her wand straight at us.
My curiosity only grew as Hermione led us into the forbidden forest.
Deeper and deeper we went into the forest and I was growing anxious.
What would happen when she realized that there was no weapon?
You do realize this is the trail we took in our second year that led us to aragog and his family of spiders? Harry said nervously.
I realized he was right. Hermione couldn't possibly know this. She hadn't been with us that time.
"How much further?" asked Umbridge sounding tired.
"Not far now" Hermione said loudly. "Just a little bit"
Right then an arrow flew over Hermione's head and hit the tree next to her. Ah crap they heard us.
I heard hooves all around us. Umbridge screamed and pushed Harry in front of her like a shield.
Centaurs surrounded us. Their bows raised with many arrows pointing at us. Hermione looked triumphant. What the hell? Their going to kill us!
"Who are you" a voice said. I looked to see a chestnut bodied centaur walking towards us. His bow raised. Harry moved to stand in front of Hermione and me, shielding us. Umbridge had her wand raised and pointing at the centaur. Though she was shaking a lot.
"I said who are you human?"
"I am Dolores Umbridge"" she said terrified. "Senior undersecretary to the minister of magic and headmistress and high inquisitor of Hogwarts!"
"You are from the ministry of magic?"
"That's right!" she responded. "So be very careful! By the laws laid down by the department of regulation and control of magical creatures, any attack by half-breeds such as yourselves on a human-"
Mistake!
"What did you call us?" Said another centaur angrily. I recognized him, his name was bane.
"Don't call them that!" Hermione said furiously. Umbridge however didn't hear her.
"Law fifteen states that 'any attack by a magical creature who is deemed to have near human intelligence, and therefore considered responsible fir its actions-"
"Near human intelligence?" said the chestnut centaur. "We consider that a great insult, human! Our intelligence, thankfully, outstrips your own-"
"What are you doing in our forest?" said another centaur.
"Your forest" Umbridge said sounding just a bit indignant. "I would remind you that you live only because the ministry of magic permits you certain areas of land-"
An arrow flew dangerously close to her head and she shrieked and covered her head. Some centaurs laughed at this.
"Whose forest is it now human?" bellowed bane.
"Filthy half- breeds!" she screamed. "Beasts! Uncontrolled animals!"
"Shut up!" I screamed at her
She pointed her wand at the chestnut centaur and screamed, "Incarcerous!"
Ropes flew out of midair and bounded the centaur's torso and arms. He cried in rage and attempted to break free as the other centaurs charged. Harry pushed both Hermione and I to the ground as the centaurs leaped over us making a great deal of noise.
She tried to stun one of them and she screamed loudly. I felt Harry move beside me and I looked to see that Umbridge had dropped her wand and he was trying to get it.
As he stretched his hand though a centaur stepped on it and snapped it in half.
"Now!" I heard someone say and I was pulled up to my feet and so was Harry and Hermione. I saw Umbridge been taken away by bane. She was still screaming and struggling. But eventually her screams died down ash she was taken away.
"And these?" said another centaur.
"They are young" said another one. "We do not attack foals"
"They brought her here Ronan" said the centaur that was gripping my arm. "And they are not so young… he is nearing manhood, this one"
"Please" said Hermione breathlessly. "Please don't attack us, we don't
Think like her. We aren't ministry of magic employees! We only came here because we hoped you'd drive her off for us-"
Bad choice of words Hermione.
"You see Ronan? They already have the arrogance of their kind! So we were to do your dirty work, were we, human girl? We were to act as your servants, drive away your enemies like obedient hounds?"
"No!" she said quickly. "Please- I didn't mean that! I just hoped you'd be able to-to help us-"
"We do not help humans" said the only griping me. "We are a race apart and proud to be so…we will not permit you to walk away from here boasting that we did you're bidding!"
"Were not going to say anything like that!" Harry shouted. "We know you didn't do anything because you wanted to-"
"They came here unasked; they must pay for the consequences!"
I heard the approval of many. We weren't going to get out of this one alive…
"You said you didn't hurt the innocent!" I shouted desperately. "We haven't done anything to offend you or hurt you"
They didn't listen just then there was a horrible noise that made the centaurs drop Harry, Hermione and I. They got their bows and arrows ready as the biggest creature I had ever seen as he ripped off the ground two thick trees, or maybe it rivaled a dragon, in size.
But this thing was no giant magical lizard, oh god no this was a huge giant…man?
The centaurs back away pointing their bows and arrows at the giant.
"Hagger!" he kept bellowing.
"Harry I think he's trying to say hagrid" Hermione said amidst all the chaos.
"Why am, I not surprised to know hagrid is involved in this!" I said not taking my eyes off the giant.
The giant saw us
"HERMY, WHERE HAGGER!"
"I don't know!' Hermione said scared. "I'm sorry grawp I don't know"
His name is grawp?
"GRAWP WANT THAGGER!"
Grawp swung his hand and Hermione screamed and stumbled then fell. All Harry and I could do was stand there petrified.
The centaurs took control and they began to shoot arrows at him. Grawps blood fell on us as if it were rain.
We helped Hermione up and ran as fast as we could to the trees grawp seemed beyond mad and was smashing trees and whatever he found. Then grawp seemed to be leaving and the centaurs followed in after him.
"Oh no" Hermione said sounding worried. "Oh, that was horrible. And he might kill them all"
"I'm not that fussed to be honest" Harry said sincerely.
"I usually don't oppose to whatever new monster hagrid decides to have as a pet but this is seriously out of line. What did he mistake it for a bunny or something?"
"It's his half brother" Harry said.
"oh well I think you guys forgot to tell me all about it"
I felt my scar throb and I remembered what had to be done.
"okay you guys checked for Sirius I think we have already wasted enough time, what the hell do we do now!" I said mad.
"We have to get to the castle" Hermione said.
"No we need to get to the ministry Hermione. For all we know Sirius could be dead!"
"Shut up Alex! Shut up right now!" Harry said mad now.
"Well we can't do anything without our wands." Hermione said trying to calm us down. "And anyways melody how are you planning on going all the way to London"
I opened my mouth but someone else spoke.
"Yeah we were wondering the same" Ron said as he walked toward us along with Ginny Neville, and Luna. They didn't look too well so it was obvious that there was fight between them and the slytherins to escape.
Luckily they got our wands back
"And how are we going to get there?" Ron said. After they had explained everything.
"Well, we'll have to fly wont we" Luna said.
"I've got a broom!" said Ginny.
"Yeah but your not going" Ron snapped. And that's when he Ginny and Harry had an argument.
"There's no damn time for this. Ginny just stay here-"I was cut off by Harry.
"You're staying here too" he said firmly.
"What the fuck Harry, shut up!" I said annoyed.
"No I do recall you promising Edward you were going to stay safe, time to keep that promise"
"You know what I'm not going to argue with you but no matter what you do I'm going like it or not"
"Were all going" Neville said.
Ten minutes of arguing later everything was set.
Luna had a brilliant idea and now we were all mounting a thestral each.
I buried my hands in the mane of the thestral I was on.
"This is mad" Ron said faintly. "If I could just see them"
"You better hope it stays invisible" Harry said darkly.
As Harry's thestral took flight, the others soon followed. I very nearly fell off. I wrapped my hands more securely on the mane of the thestral as it flew with a speed I had never experienced. The air was biting at my flesh and my cheeks soon went numb. I closed my eyes and lowered my face to the thestral's mane.
Soon we had left Hogwarts and hogsmeade behind.
Please let him be alive, please Sirius hold on
Edward would have probably died if he knew what I was doing. I was suddenly grateful that Alice couldn't see my future.
After what seemed like ages to me, despite my deep thinking, the thestral began to slow down. Then it began to descend, I held on tighter to keep from slipping forward.
Sure enough I could see London now, the animal landed softer than I expected and as soon as it stopped moving I slid off much like everyone else.
I looked around and I saw the vandalized telephone box.
Harry led us to the telephone box were we all crammed inside.
Almost there Sirius hold on a bit more.
Once again I seemed to barely take in my surroundings; my only thought was to get to the department of mysteries fast.
"Whoever's the nearest on to the receiver dial-"
"I got it" I said and with a little effort I was able to raise my hand and dial the number.
"Welcome to the department of mysteries" said a voice. "Please state your name and purpose.
"Harry potter, Alex potter, Ginny weasley, Ron weasley, Neville longbottom, and Hermione granger. Were here to save someone unless your ministry can do it first." Harry said impatiently. The nametags came out and I took them and passed them out not caring who got which.
After more of the lady's talking the telephone booth finally began to descend, into the ministry of magic.
No wonder voldemort got in unnoticed; the atrium that was usually bustling with witches and wizards was completely empty. Everything seemed deserted. The door of the telephone box burst open and without warning everyone stumbled out. We sprinted down the deserted hall quickly we went inside the lift and Harry pressed the number nine.
We all waited in complete silence. But there was panic around us; all of us worried about what was ahead of us. I just hope everyone got safely out of here.
The gates of the lift slid open and the voice of the lady announced we had arrived to the department of mysteries.
I jogged to the black door with the others following. I had dreamed of this door the whole year and now I was finally here.
After one last failed attempt of Harry to try to leave some people behind Harry and I walked forward and just like in our dreams it swung open by itself. We walked over the threshold with everyone following. Our wands were held tightly in our hands, ready for whatever came our way.
I recognized the circular room. The candles were the only source of light and they were burning blue.
"Close the door" I murmured, my voice much more composed than I expected it to be.
As soon as they closed the door there was only haunting darkness then only thing we could see were the flames and it's reflection on the floor.
There were so many doors…
Without warning the flames began to rotate. The wall was rotating. This made things all the more difficult. Now we didn't even know which one would lead us out.
"We have to check each door" I said, realizing that there was no other way.
Harry described what it looked like through the door, in our dreams.
As we checked many doors I had the nasty feeling we were being watched.
We opened another door it slightly resembled a courtroom where our trial had been held over the summer. But instead of a chained chair there was a dais where there was a stone archway with a white veil that didn't look like any material I had ever seen, it looked like some strange silk that was see through…the oddest thing I have ever seen. It moved as if there was a breeze in the room, its movements resembling those of a small stream of water.
"Whose there?" Harry said out of nowhere. He jumped on the lower bench. Instinctively I turned to look at the veil. It moved quietly, I felt some type of presence around it. Somewhere close to it I swear I could hear a faint murmur…was I imagining it?
Harry and I went down the benches until we reached the stone bottom of the sunken pit.
The veil remained moving, as if somebody had just passed through it.
"Sirius?" I called. But I knew he wasn't in here. And he wasn't behind the veil. So why did I feel like I should go and see what was behind it?
Someone was there, I knew it…. I could feel it ….just behind the veil.
I could hear the people behind me talk but I couldn't make out what they were saying. The whispers grew more pronounced, they were real, I knew it. They were whispering to me…I think…
"Sirius…your right" I heard Harry say.
Something pulled on my wrist. And I noticed I had been walking towards the archway.
"Wait" I argued not taking my eyes off it. "Let go…I have to see…"
"Alex we have to go for Sirius" I heard Harry say.
"No wait- I need to see what's there…let go of me... I need to go through the veil Harry!"
The echoes of my voice brought sense back to me and my survival instincts caught on to me. I stopped and stared at the veil, it no longer felt inviting…
Get away from the veil said a voice that sounded and awful lot to Edward's… but it was nowhere near as beautiful and soothing as Edward's.
I turned to look at Harry. He was holding my hand with a frightened expression.
"We have to get Sirius" I whispered. Harry nodded.
"Come on" he said.
I allowed myself to be pulled out of the room, ignoring the worried looks the others gave me. I looked back at the veil before we got out. And it seemed to be begging me to go back towards it.
We tried another door and I felt a sense of relief when I recognized the room.
"This is it" Harry and I said at the same time.
Without checking to see how accurate my dreams of this room had been, I moved forward without stopping.
So close Sirius
"Come one it's through here" I said stopping in front of another door. My heart was pumping faster now. I could feel it pound in every inch of my body. Making me hyperaware of everything that was going on.
I pushed gently on the door and swung open. This was definitely the room, the one that resembled a church with many shelves holding the glass spheres.
But it didn't seem like there was anyone in here.
"Row ninety-seven" I whispered as I ran through the aisles.
Everyone was being cautious. I became more and more anxious as I neared row ninety-seven.
He's not dead. Harry and I would have felt it…he's not dead
"Ninety-seven" Hermione whispered.
We all stopped and looked down at the aisle except there was something horribly wrong.
Sirius wasn't there.
I stared down at the floor where I had seen him writhing in pain, and listened to my brother's confused mutterings. The boy was still in denial.
He's still alive, I know it. But if he isn't here…was he ever here to begin with?
A bad feeling settled deep in my chest and it made my whole body ache, my head pound and my heart almost stop. I recognized this feeling. It was the same feeling that had taken over me that day at the grave yard when I realized it was a trap.
It was terror. A terror so big I could feel it on my very bones.
I felt a hint of confusion that was certainly not part of my feelings. I turned to Harry, trying to figure out why he was confused.
I turned and saw him and the others looking up at a shelf. I followed their sight and I saw an orb that said:
S.p.t to a.p.w.b.d
Dark lord
And Harry & Alexandra potter
I felt my face contort into a frown.
"Take it for me" voldemort…or I…had said. "I cannot touch it but you can"
Is this what he was talking about? Why couldn't he touch it?
Harry reached for it and I looked at his arm as he went for it
"Harry I don't think you should touch it" Hermione said making Harry stop.
"Why not?" he said, "it's got to do with Alex and I doesn't it?"
"Don't Harry" Neville said. Without looking away from Harry's hand I tilted my head towards him.
"Take it" I whispered. "It won't hurt you"
I knew I was right. I don't know how but it was just an instinct I had. Whatever that thing was it wouldn't cause Harry or me any harm.
I felt everyone's eyes turn to me. And I nodded in assurance. Harry reached for the sphere once more and took it down from the shelve slowly. I noticed I was breathing heavily, as if I had just run a marathon. Still my eyes didn't leave the sphere as Harry lowered it and held it between him and me. I looked up at him to see him frowning at the little ball.
"Very good, potter." Said an ice cold voice I instantly recognized. "Now turn around, nice and slowly, and give that to me."
I turned abruptly to find Lucius Malfoy and a dozen death eaters appearing from thin air.
We all moved together instinctively as the death eaters surrounded us.
"To me, potter" said Malfoy in a dangerously soft voice. He held out his hand for the sphere.
Please let this all be a horrible dream. I half expected Edward to wake me up any time now and comfort me while I told him what I saw and he promised to protect me from everyone who dared to try and hurt me.
"Where's Sirius?" Harry demanded.
Just hearing the death eaters laugh confirmed my suspicions. I just wished I had heard Hermione earlier today. Because this was a trap, Sirius was never here, we saw what voldemort wanted us to see and we believed it. And now not only were we in trouble but we had just put our friends in the line for death. All because we didn't listen.
"I want to know where Sirius is!" Harry said angrily.
"I want to know where Sirius is!" Mimicked a woman that was beside Malfoy.
"You've got him" Harry said and I was able to detect a note of panic in his voice, though no one else did. "He's here I know he is"
"The little baby woke up fwightened and fort what it had dweamed was twoo" said the woman in a horrible mock-baby voice.
"Don't do anything" Harry told us. "Not yet-"
The woman let out a scream of laughter that startled me.
"You hear him? You hear him? Giving instructions to the other children as though he think of fighting us"
"Oh you don't know the potters like I do bellatrix" Malfoy said. "They both have a great weakness for heroics: the dark lord understands this about them. Now give me the prophecy, potter"
Prophecy?
"I know Sirius is here" Harry pressed. "I know you've got him"
The death eaters laughed once more.
"He was never here" I said to Harry, it was time he understood this. "Trap" I whispered so only he could hear me, but I didn't dare look at his expression.
"Listen to your sister" Malfoy said. "Maybe she can teach you about the difference between life and dreams" he said. "Now give me the prophecy or we start using wands."
Keep them talking. I told Harry, realizing I had access to his thoughts. Keep them talking while I think.
"Go on, then" Harry challenged. He raised his wand to level with his chest and we all followed.
I tried to clear my head from the panic I was having. Handing them the prophecy was not an option, they would kill us all when we did. How do we get out of here alive? This was all Harry and my fault so we had to get the rest out of here safely…problem is we are nowhere near being safe. We were easily outnumbered and these were fully grown wizards with many more years of experience, not to mention killers. What are we going to do?
A smashing noise that brought me out of my thoughts. Several prophecies' fell to the floor. And to white figures rose from the broken glass like white smoke and spoke. They spoke at the same time so that we couldn't make out what they said.
Smash the prophecies… of course.
Harry when I tell you, smash as many shelves as you can.
Brilliant, okay just hurry up, my luck will run out soon.
Without loosing any time I slowly felt around with my foot for whoever was close to me. I never took my eyes off the death eaters. I felt a foot and pressed lightly on it.
"What?" Hermione whispered.
"Dumbledore never told you that the reason you both bear that scar was hidden in the bowels of the department of mysteries?"
My head snapped to look at Malfoy.
"What?" what I said loudly. "What about our scar?"
"What?" Hermione hissed but I ignored her.
"Can this be? " Malfoy said delighted. I couldn't help but glare in annoyance when the death eaters laughed.
I heard Harry hiss to Hermione to smash the shelves.
"Dumbledore never told you" Malfoy said. "Well this explains why you two didn't come earlier. Potter, the dark lord wondered why-"
"-when Alex says go-"Harry told her
"- you both didn't come running when he showed you the place where it was hidden in your dreams. He thought natural curiosity would make you want to hear the exact wording…"
"Did he now?" I asked calmly. "Interesting, so he wanted us to come here and get it? Alright but why?"
"Why? Because the only people permitted to retrieve a prophecy from the department of mysteries, potter, are those about whom it was made, as the dark lord discovered when he attempted to use others to steal it for him"
"Okay I get it but why would he want to steal a prophecy about us?" I asked as if this was just a nice chat between friends, though it didn't feel like that at all.
"Haven't you ever wondered why the dark lord tried to kill you two when you were just baby's?"
"Why couldn't he come and get it himself?" Harry asked
"Get it himself?" bellatrix shrieked and let out a maniac laugh.
"The dark lord, walk into the ministry of magic when they are so sweetly ignoring his return? The dark lord, reveal himself to the aurors, when at the moment they are wasting their time on my dear cousin?"
Almost time I told Harry. We strike when they talk
"So he's got you doing his dirty work for him, has he?" Harry asked. "Like he tried to do with Sturgis…and with bode"
"Very good, potter, very good…" Malfoy said. "But the dark lord knows you are not unintelli-"
"NOW" I bellowed
I heard six different voices shout "REDUCTO!" the curses hit shelves in different directions and at once the sphere fell and smashed to pieces as many shadowy figures rose and all talked at the same time.
"RUN!" I heard Harry shout.
We all ran at once as the shelves fell and death eaters shouted in surprise and some in pain.
Take the prophecy they all think I have it harry said tossing me the crystal sphere. I caught it with ease as we ran back the way we had come. We ran out the door and slammed it shut.
"Colloportus!" I heard Hermione gasp and the door sealed itself.
"Where- where are the others?" I looked around me.
"Shit!" I screamed in frustration. Ron Luna and Ginny weren't with us
"They must have gone the other way" whispered Hermione.
We began to hear voices coming from the door Hermione had just sealed.
"We'll split" I heard Malfoy say. "And don't forget be gentle with the potters until we've got the prophecy, you can kill the others if necessary."
I paid no attention to the rest
"come on I said shoving Hermione Harry and Neville. We began running out to the circular room we were almost there when I heard a death eater open up the door Hermione had just shut.
We all hid under the nearby desks and I clutched the sphere tightly to my chest as I tried to calm down my erratic breathing.
The death eaters began to search under the desks. Not to far away heard Harry shout a stunning spell I got out from under the desk and saw a death eater point his wand, I knew he was aiming to kill.
Rage boiled under my skin as I he began to say the curse.
"EXPELLIARMUS!" I said aiming at the death eater. He turned to look at who had just disarmed him.
"STUPEFY!" Hermione cried and he fell to the floor. I growled and made my way towards the unconscious death eater, wanting nothing more than to kill him.
"No Alex there's no time for whatever you want to do!" Hermione said pushing against me.
"Fine!" I growled
"Get out of the way, Harry!" we heard Neville shout and we both turned to see Harry running towards a death eater who was running further ahead. Both heading back towards the hall of prophecies.
Harry flung himself sideways as Neville shouted "STUPEFY!"
He missed instead it hit a cabinet close by and the cabinet fell to the floor and the glass it contained flew everywhere then it went back to the wall repaired then fell again…it didn't stop breaking and repairing itself.
The death eater picked up his wand.
"STUPE-!"
"STUPEFY!" I shouted before he could finish. It hit him straight in the chest and he fell back to the bell jar beside him. His head sank through the surface of the bell jar.
"Accio wand!" Hermione said and I saw Harry wand as she catched it. Then she tossed it to Harry.
"Thanks" Harry began.
"What the hell!" I said shocked at what I was seeing.
The death eaters head was shrinking! As it shrank it turned to a baby's head. Then it began to swell and turn back to a mans head.
"It's time" Hermione said. "Time"
"Time is what we don't fucking have right now!" I said. Right then we all heard a shout come from another room.
"RON?" Harry shouted "GINNY? LUNA?"
I looked back at the death eater who had managed to get his head out of the jar. I raised my wand and pointed it at him. But Hermione stopped me; I turned to look at her.
"You can't hurt a baby!"
She can't be fucking serious! That baby just tried to kill us!
"Come on!" Harry said
He led us to the door that was opened at the other side of the door. I heard another door open and two other death eaters ran in.
"Impedimenta!' I heard them cry.
I ducked at just the right time as I instinctively covered my head with the one arm that wasn't holding the prophecy. Everyone else was knocked backward off their feet.
"WE'VE GOT THEM" said a voice "IN AN OFFICE OF-"
"Aggh!" I growled pointing my wand at him. "Silencio!" the man continued speaking but nothing was heard coming from his mouth.
"Petrificus totalus!" Harry cried as I turned to see a death eater pointing his wand at me. The spell hit his square in the face and he toppled backward.
"HERMIONE!" I turned to see my brother on the floor next to an unconscious Hermione.
Please let her just be unconscious I thought
I hurried over to Hermione. She was still warm, and she still had a pulse. I let out a breath of relief. I heard Neville
"Whaddid he do to her?" Neville asked coming over towards us. He had a bloodied nose and broken lip.
"I dunno she's still alive though" I said and I instantly felt a wave of relief emit from Harry.
"Neville we need to get you and Hermione out of here so you can raise an alarm or something." Harry said.
"And whad are you going do do?" Neville asked.
"Alex and I will look for the others"
Neville refused, and we weren't in any position to argue about it, so he carried Hermione as we crept out towards the door to the blue lit hallway.
The door behind us closed and immediately another opened three people fell out of it.
Something was wrong with Ron. He looked…he looked drunk and he could barely stand.
"What happened to him?" I asked.
They didn't know, but Ginny seemed to have a broken ankle. Luna helped Ginny up and Harry and I got Ron. The prophecy slipped a little, I tightened my hold around it. If this thing broke they will kill us all.
"Which is the exit?" I asked. All the doors where the same, the chances on finding the door fast were very slim.
We made our way to one door but the one across the hall burst opened.
"There they are!" shrieked bellatrix.
We ran towards the door as stunning spells went everywhere around the room. We were over the threshold just in time.
"Colloportus!" I hissed pointing my wand at the door. We could hear the death eaters just behind the door. There were more doors in this room, more entrances for them. It was the brain room. Panicked Harry Neville Luna and I went around the room sealing all the doors.
"collo-aaaaaaarrgh!" I turned abruptly to see Luna flying through the air and hit the opposite wall she lay unconscious on the floor.
"Get potter!" bellatrix screamed. Death eaters made their way over to us; they still thought Harry had it. Very discreetly I slipped the crystal ball into the pocket of my robes.
"RON!"
My head snapped in Ron's direction. Everyone stopped in their tracks to see the horrifying image before our eyes. The tentacles of the brain he was holding wrapped themselves around his arms and they kept going to his chest.
"NO-N-NO!" Ron fell to the floor thrashing and struggling to get the tentacles off of him.
"Diffindo!" Harry said pointing at the string-like tentacles but nothing helped.
The death eaters came back to their senses and they attacked once more, successfully stunning Ginny.
I'll get them away from you I thought.
If they saw me running away they would figured had the prophecy and would come after me.
No! Harry thought.
But it was too late, I was already sprinting away. They all ran behind me throwing stunning spells in my direction, but never hitting me. I ran through the door the death eaters had come in through. I was running when the floor seemed to be pulled out from under my feet and I was falling down steep stone step after steep stone step. I was back at the room with the stone archway and the veil.
I groaned in pain and instinctively curled into my body as I tried to regain the breath that had been knocked out of me. My head pounded from the force of the fall. Death eaters came from every direction, I could hear them laughing at me. Ignoring the pain my body was in, I got up and grabbed my wand, the prophecy was still-thankfully- unharmed. I walked back looking in every direction trying to find a way out but my back hit the archway. All of the death eaters looked at me, all pointing their wand at me. I was vaguely aware that my nose was severely bleeding and there was a gash on my cheek.
"Game over" Lucius said. "Now hand over the prophecy like a good girl"
"You have to let the others go first though" I said, as I put my hand inside my pocket and gripped the glass sphere.
"You are in no position to bargain" Lucius said. "There are ten of us and one of you-"
"She's not alone!" Harry called. He walked over to me quickly and raised his wand at them.
You're supposed to be helping Ron!
He ignored me.
"Perfect" bellatrix said with a wild air around her. "Why don't we use her dear brother to persuade her?"
"We are not to touch them bellatrix, they are the dark lords only" Lucius said sharply.
"I wont kill them…I'll simply persuade them a bit."
Whatever happens don't give it to them melody
I was beyond panicked now, they were going to hurt him… lord what do I do?!
"Crucio!" I felt pain as the curse hit Harry, but the pain he sent my way wasn't anything compared to what he was probably feeling.
I fell to the floor as Harry screams mixed with my own.
Then the pain was gone only to leave my whole body shaking and aching.
"Now give us the prophecy potter or we go get your friends and kill them before your eyes!" bellatrix cooed.
Harry I have to! I cried inside my head desperately.
Just as the thought crossed my mind a door burst open. The death eaters turned to look and without looking to see who it was I scrambled to Harry's side and got him up and we ran off the dais and out of the way. Spells shot in every direction.
"Duck!" Harry called. And we both fell flat to the ground
"How's Ron!" I asked
"I had to leave I couldn't get it off him Alex, and they could of hurt you!" Harry said pleading with me to understand.
Beside us the stone floor exploded as a spell hit it.
"Come on!" Harry called he ran ahead thinking I was following.
I began to get up but a hand pulled me from the ankle.
"Gah!" I screamed as I fell back to the floor, I heard a crack and pain as a river of blood flowed from my nose. I turned and saw a death eater on the floor pulling me by the ankle towards him.
"Give me that prophecy!" he growled.
He pulled at my leg harder and I screamed as he dragged me closer to him, with my other foot I found his face and kicked him repeatedly in the face until he was unconscious.
"Are you all right" Harry coming over to me.
"No! Let's go" I said I put my hand on the stone floor to get up but just then my hand came into contact with a ball. I moved my hand and saw Moody's magical eye there.
I screamed in fright I turned to look at moody who lay on his side with blood coming from his head.
The death eater that had attacked him was now looking up at us, his face twisted into a horrible grin. I scrambled around trying to find my wand just as Harry raised his own wand.
"accio-" I turned to see the death eater being thrown backward. He hit the stone wall with and incredible force.
"Edward!" I screamed as the many shouts towered over my own screams.
Edwards face was contorted into a mask of fury as he looked at the death eater that lay on the floor. I wasn't sure if he was alive or not.
Edwards head snapped to me as he heard me call him. In less than a blink of an eye he was next to me.
NO, NO, NO! He can't be here!
"Are you-" he stiffened and he raised a hand to my face. I felt his fingers touch my top lip and ten he raised his fingers to examine them. They were filled with blood. He stopped breathing and his already dark eyes turned deadly black.
"Edward?" I called nervously.
"Alex! Get away from him!" called Sirius.
I saw Edwards's scared hungry expression as I scrambled away from his grasp.
"Edward" I whispered.
"Come on Alex!" Harry said pulling me away. "It's not safe"
"Accio proh-" we turned to see another death eater pointing his wand at me.
Sirius came out of nowhere and rammed into him. They began dueling; he raised his wand to curse Sirius.
"Petrificus totalus!" I shouted pointing at the death eater. It hit him right on the chest and he froze and fell back.
"Nice one" Sirius called as he forced our heads down to avoid a spell. A flash of green light narrowly avoided me and I looked across the room and saw tonks falling to the ground. Bellatrix smiled in triumph.
"Now you two take the prophecy and run" Sirius called and then he dashed to meet bellatrix. I turned searching for Edward, if something happened to him it would all be my fault. If something happened to him I would die.
I found him neatly ducking out of the spells a death eater was throwing at him. The fight was equal, Edward had the agility and strength, but the death eater's magic was equally powerful.
"He'll be fine Alex come on" Harry called pulling me away. As we ran a man lunged at us we all fell backward. I took out the prophecy and held it tightly to my chest to protect it.
"Give me the prophecy potter" bellowed Lucius in my ear, his wand jabbed me in my ribs.
"Harry!" I screamed, he turned and I held out the ball and chucked it at him before Lucius could grab it. He caught it and made a run for it. Lucius pointed his wand at Harry.
"Impedimenta!" I said pointing my wand back over my shoulder. Lucius was blasted off of me. I turned and saw him smash into the dais were bellatrix and Sirius were having a heated duel. Lucius pointed his wand at Harry who was coming my way to help me get up and out of here. Before he could strike lupin jumped between Harry and Lucius and deflected the curse.
"Harry, round up the others and GO!"
Harry nodded and lupin left to battle another death eater.
I got up and ran towards Harry who was now running away from a death eater, he kept sending curses behind him but none hit the death eater.
"Stupefy!" I shouted. Harry caught up with me.
"Give me the prophecy" I gasped as we ran to the door across the room.
He fumbled with the sphere and attempted to hand it to me. A curse flew over my head, as a reflex reaction, I covered my head with my arm and knocked the prophecy off of Harry's hand. The crystal sphere fell and smashed into a thousand pieces. A misty figure rose and began to speak, but nothing could be heard over all the chaos around us.
"Damn! I'm sorry Harry" I said.
I didn't hear what hew said just then our salvation came through a door.
"Dumbledore!" I cried as I looked up at the doorway from the brain room. Relief washed through me as I saw his face, white with fury.
Some death eaters saw and made a run for it. Dumbledore pulled them back with spells easily.
I saw Edward close by, fighting with another death eater. Loud animalistic growls erupted from deep inside his chest as he ducked a green jet of light that very narrowly missed him.
"Edward" I gasped and made to go towards him.
"Get back here" Harry said pulling me back.
"Come on" I heard Sirius shout; I turned and saw him still battling with bellatrix. "You can do better than that!" he taunted her.
Her second jet of green light hit him on the chest.
In my mind everything stopped.
his eyes widened in shock.
Without thinking Harry and I ran to the dais. As we ran Sirius body fell through the veil…just like that. The last expression that took over his features was that of fear and surprise. It was the very last image I had of my godfather as he disappeared behind the veil.
Somewhere far away bellatrix screamed in triumph and I kept running to the dais.
"She can't go through the veil Edward!" I heard someone call. Immediately something stopped me from running through that veil.
"NO!" I growled. "NO! SIRIUS! COME BACK! COME BACK DAMMIT!
"I'm sorry Alex" Edwards's soft, pained voice murmured in my ear. I turned towards him.
"SHUT UP!" I growled- a sound almost identical to the one he had while he fought the death eater- I punched his rock hard chest in anger.
"He's gone" he whispered to me.
"SHUT UP! DON'T SAY THAT! YOURE LYING WE CAN STILL GET TO HIM. JUST DON'T SAY THAT TO ME!" I bellowed hitting every part of his body. He held me tightly to him though. "He's not gone!" I screamed. "SIRIUS! SIRIUS!"
"He's gone Alex he can't come back" Edward pleaded.
"Damn it Edward why are you trying to hurt me?! Fuck you Edward! He's not dead!"
He's not gone he can't be gone! Why is everyone saying he's dead? Dammit why isn't he coming back?!
I was vaguely aware of Edward carrying me away. I looked over his shoulder at the archway. No one came out of it.
No one would come out of it ever.
Edward sat on a stone bench next to Harry and he cradled me in his arms. Not quite knowing what to say.
Anger directed at Edward took over me. Though I knew none of this was his fault but my own.
He wasn't breathing at all, I could tell. He ducked his head to nuzzle my face. I turned away before he could reach my face. My eyes were trained on the veil. He wasn't coming back. He's leaving me too, just like mom and dad. Just like cedric…
I yell of pain brought me back to earth. Kingsley lay on the floor howling in pain as bellatrix ran away. She was running out of the room. She was escaping.
I made to get up from Edwards grasp but he tightened his hold on me.
Harry had already become free of lupin's grip and was running in her direction.
Before anyone could think something else I pressed my wand to Edwards's ribs. The movement was so abrupt and sudden Edward had no time to know what I was doing until I shouted.
"Stupefy!" His grip instantly slackened and I jumped off and ran in Harry's direction as Edward slumped down the benches. Shouts directed at me came from behind me, shouts I hardly paid attention to. Adrenaline ran through my body as I ran after my brother. Bellatrix needed to pay for what she did. And she was going to pay with her worthless and miserable life. I ran to the circular room where the door behind me closed and the room spun.
Ask I heard Harry's mental voice tell me.
"Which is the way out?!" I called and the door opened.
Wasting no time, I ran to the lift that was just closing at the moment. I ran inside it and crashed into the wall.
Harry was there and he helped me up. We ran out before the doors of the lift opened completely.
Bellatrix was almost on her way out. She saw us and aimed a spell at the both of us. We ducked it just in time. We found cover behind a fountain. Quiet fell upon the atrium. She had stopped running.
She wasn't gone.
"Come out come out" she cooed in her mock baby voice. "What did you two come after me for then? I thought you were here to avenge my dear cousin.
"Did you love him, little baby potter?" she continued.
The overwhelming hatred bubbling inside me only intensified as Harry's hatred rolled off of him and came towards me in strong waves. It was almost maddening.
Driven by the same intense feeling. Both Harry and I shot out from behind the fountain and shot at her.
"Crucio!" we said in a perfect chorus.
She screamed and was knocked to her feet. Even so I knew that the curse had worked to its fullest power. She confirmed it for us.
"Never used an unforgivable curse have you?" she said maniacally "you need to mean them! You need to really wan to cause pain – enjoy it- I'll teach how it's done. A lesson wouldn't hurt either of you"
We ducked in time and her curse hit the fountain a piece of it fell off.
"You cannot win against me!" she shouted. "I was and am the dark lords most loyal servant, I learned the dark arts from him, and I know spell of such power that you, pathetic little kids, can never hope to compete-"
"Stupefy!" I yelled
She deflected it so fast that it almost hit me. It hit the statue and another piece fell off.
"Give me the prophecy potter" she said dangerously.
"Well you're gong to be disappointed to find that you won't find it anymore."
Pain centered on my scar as the words left my mouth.
He knows, he knows and he is mad Harry.
"He knows" Harry said, "And he isn't very happy"
"What are you talking about?" she stammered and for the first time tonight she sounded afraid.
"It smashed" I said. "It slipped off my fingers and fell to the ground. You should have seen it. A million pieces scattering on the floor. It was fantastical"
The pain intensified. I put my fingers to my temples and massaged them. Though I knew that would not work.
"LIAR" she screamed in terror. "Accio prophecy!"
"Wont get nothing from us Bella" I taunted her. "It's gone…poof!" I laughed.
"You're lying" she screamed once more "MASTER PLEASE! DON'T –DON'T PUNISH ME!"
"Oh he can't here you from here" Harry called.
"Can't I, potter?" said a high cold voice that made my insides freeze. I never realized I had closed my eyes until I opened them. Living death seemed to stand before me. A face so horribly disfigured that it looked more like a snake than a human face. Voldemort had his wand pointed at Harry and me. A year ago I was face to face with him, and that night I lost the person I loved so much, the one who I already had a life planned out with. Tonight I lost my godfather. Would I loose more tonight?
"So you smashed my prophecy?" he asked softly his slit pupiled eyes stared pitiless at us. "no Bella, their not lying…I see the truth looking at me from their worthless minds…after so much time my death eaters have let the potters thwart me again…"
She sobbed and pleaded for forgiveness. "Master you should know-"
"Be quiet, Bella" he said in a quietly. "I shall deal with you in a moment. Do you think I have entered the ministry to hear your sniveling apologies?"
"But master- he is here- he is below-"
She was talking about Dumbledore. But he ignored her, his eyes never left Harry or me.
"I have nothing to say to either of you." He said quietly. "You have irked me too often, for too long, AVADA KEDABRA!"
Since cedric died all I've wanted was death. So then why didn't I want this right now?
Edward was the answer. I didn't want to die; Edward was the greatest gift the world had to offer me, even though I didn't deserve him. I hoped that every single thing he had told me had been a complete lie. Because if it had all been true…it would be the end of him…
The golden statue of the wizard was suddenly in front of us it raised its arms protectively as the curse just glanced off the statues head. For that one second my heart stopped and then restarted.
"Dumbledore!" voldemort breathed.
Dumbledore stood in front of the golden gates. A spell was shot at him from voldemort. But then he was gone, only to appear behind voldemort. Everything was happening so fast that I could barely register it all in my mind. The other statues of the water fountain sprung to life and one went after bellatrix, successfully bringing her down to the floor. Heaven knows where the others went, because at that moment the statue protecting us began pushing back, away from the fight.
"It was foolish to come here tonight tom" Dumbledore spoke calmly. "The aurors are on their way-"
"By which time I shall be gone and you dead!"
Voldemort shot another killing curse and Dumbledore deflected it with a very powerful spell that made the ground shake.
I found refuge in Harry's arms. He held me tightly to him as we heard the spells being shot at the two people.
"You do not seek to kill me, Dumbledore?" I heard voldemort call. "Above such brutality aren't we?"
"We both know that there are other ways of destroying a man tom" responded Dumbledore "merely taking your life would not satisfy me I'm afraid."
How can he keep his calm like this?
More sounds of spells and then a blast of fire. I covered my ears and closed my eyes.
Why can't this be one of my nightmares? This is our entire fault. If anything else happens to anyone else….oh god why are they even fighting to protect us?!
I opened my eyes and looked at what was happening. The water from the fountain was enveloping voldemort as if e was in a ball full of water then he disappeared the water fell back into the pool.
"MASTER!" screamed bellatrix.
Harry's grip on my shaking form loosened and we both got up on our feet, completely sure that it was over and voldemort was gone.
"Stay where you are!" Dumbledore called to us. For the first time since I had known him he sounded afraid. And his tone made my insides squirm in fear.
I heard footsteps come our way. I turned and saw Edward coming out of the lift. My heart almost jumped out of my chest as I saw that he was unharmed.
Soon that relief was gone. Replaced only by excruciating pain that was splitting my head open. My body was in pain, but I felt like I was outside of my body. I felt like my very soul was in excruciating pain. Like my very soul was being burned in a fire that was sure to disintegrate any man that came within ten miles of it.
I wasn't dead…no death was nothing compared to the amount of pain I was in. I was finally paying for all my sins.
Someone was with me, a horrible creature that was taking over me causing further pain upon my already tarnished soul.
We were one.
"Kill me now Dumbledore" I said in my new high pitched and cold voice. "Death is nothing, Dumbledore, kill the girl…."
"Make it stop!" I roared finding my own voice again. "Kill me now!"
Images flashed trough my mind.
My parents dead, Sirius going through the veil, cedric's motionless body. Every single painful memory of my insignificant life flashed before me, tearing me apart. Further plunging me more into the flames that were worst than the ones of Hades himself.
Cedric
I came out of the black lake coughing out water Harry and I had been last to get out of the lake during the second task.
"Come here" loving hands grabbed my face and kissed me desperately.
"Here" he said handing me his blanket and taking me towards madam pomfrey.
Another memory flashed through my mind.
I played the piano expertly with Edward as my harmony. I glanced up at him and he gave me a dashing smile and swiftly kissed my lips.
I was finally breaking, paying for cedrics death and for putting Edward in so much danger.
Even through all the pain I was able to find traces of happiness in me. I was getting what I deserved and those memories were some of the best in my life.
A deafening scream back me back to the burning reality. The monster disentangled itself from me. My soul met with my body and my body convulsed in pain. Soon I realized that I had been the one screaming. With one last painful stroke of the fire I became more aware of my surroundings.
The first thing I felt besides the violent spasms and the ache in my body was two strong and shaking arms holding me tightly to someone's body.
The first thing I smelled the sweetest smell known to mankind.
The first thing I tasted was blood.
The first thing I heard were pained sobs coming from the person holding me.
And the first thing I saw was my dear Edward. On the floor cradling my form in his arms and sobbing into my neck his body shaking uncontrollably along with mines.
He had meant everything he ever told me. And I had come so close to destroying him.
"Will you ever forgive me?" I whispered.
He gave a gleeful cry into my neck.
"Thank you!" he cried quietly. "Thank you god! Thank you melody! Thank you!"
He searched desperately for my lips; I met him halfway there and wound my fingers into his feather-soft hair. Pulling him closer to my face.
With each kiss came a murmured thank you from him and a murmured sorry from me.
"Alex" he whispered desperately. He took my face in his hands and made me look at him through my unshed tears.
"You're never going to leave are you? " he asked, his tone made him sound half crazy. I could only imagine all the pain I had put him through tonight. "Promise me you're never going to leave me Alex not like that, you'll always be with me and you'll never let me fall. You'll never steal yourself away from me like that again. Promise me"
"I'll love you forever Edward, I'm never letting you go. I promise" I said finally letting tears spill over.
He buried his head in my neck and silently sobbed into it as I cried on his shoulder.
A little distance away, Harry was being helped up by Dumbledore. Ministry officials were coming from the fireplaces.
Gradually we both composed ourselves. Edward got up and put me back on my feet.
All I heard was. "I saw him" and "he was here! You-know- who was here!"
"Alex?"
Before I could look Harry had me crushed against his chest. Edward didn't let go of my hand.
"You're okay?" he asked taking my face in his hands and searching for any serious injury.
"I'm okay" I muttered and he kissed my forehead repeatedly.
"you're not" he breathed. "I'm pretty sure your nose is broken"
"Harry" I said pulling back and taking his hand with my free one. "Harry this is Edward. Edward this is Harry, my brother"
Harry and Edward looked at each other.
"It's great to meet you Edward. Thank you…for everything you've done for my sister. For giving me my sister back"
"I'm honored to meet you Harry, thank you for putting her life before you and for loving her the way she deserves her brother to love her." Edward said with truth ringing in every single word.
"We can discuss that after I have sent Harry and Alex back to Hogwarts" Dumbledore spoke to fudge.
Edwards arm immediately wound possessively around my waist and I hugged myself to Edward.
"Th-them here? What's all this about?" blabbered fudge
"I'll explain everything" Dumbledore repeated. "When they are back at school"
He turned towards us.
"Alex I need you at school, there are some things I have to talk about to you and Harry."
I tightened my hold on Edward. Everything that had happened was crashing down on me.
Sirius is dead.
"Edward, I need to talk to them privately you and frank are to go back to forks and I'll send her over once I am done talking to them. Please this is an urgent matter. Otherwise I wouldn't be taking her away from you"
How did he know about Edward?
I felt as Edward hesitantly loosened his grip on me.
I turned to him.
"I'll wait for you at your house" he whispered to me.
"I love you" I murmured burying my face in his chest.
"Tonight my feelings for you have only become more than words could ever describe, my beautiful Alex."
"Alex come on "said Harry taking my hand.
"Bye" I whispered to Edward.
Harry led me over to the portkey, where Dumbledore stood. He pointed his wand at me and I felt my nose get fixed.
"I'll see you in half an hour" Dumbledore said quietly to us. We touched the head of the fountain that was acting as a portkey. "One…two….three" and then we were pulled and everything underneath us disappeared.
