Here's chapter 34!
Chapter 34
Last Time:
"Ahh, Albus Dumbledore" Dumbledore and Alex looks over at Lucius Malfoy as the Death Eaters all stand in a line.
"Lucius" Dumbledore nods. Alex looks at her friends to see them all safe. Lupin is slowly pushing them to the door next to them.
"I want the prophecy" Alex takes the prophecy that she slipped in her sweater pocket.
"You're not going to get it!" Alex snaps and glares at the Death Eaters.
"Relax" someone touches Alex's shoulder and she looks up. It's Rose, Fred and George.
"What are you doing here?" Alex whispers. Rose, Fred and George smiles.
"We didn't want to miss out on the fun" Fred answers. Alex stares at them.
"You three get out of here and take Alex with you" Dumbledore whispers to then from the corner of his mouth. They all nod and each twin grabs her arm, since she was beginning to argue.
"DAD! NO!" once all the teenagers were out, the battle between the Order and the Death Eaters begin.
Now:
As they arrive to the entrance of the Ministry, Alex is WAY passed pissed off!
Alex pulls herself away from the twins.
"I HATE YOU!" Alex screams at them and takes off back to the battle. She CAN'T lose her dad!
Before the twins and Rose could react, someone hits Alex with a spell. They run to Alex, who is on the ground. There in front of them is... Bellatrix.
"Aww pretty is hurt" Bellatrix smirks. She sends three spells at the twins and Rose, knocking them out before they could get their wands. Bellatrix grabs Alex's arm and the prophecy. She then drags Alex to the fireplace and they leave the Ministry.
~H&A~
Dumbledore rushes into the entrance of the Ministry to see Harry on the ground. He runs over, and sees that Harry is just knocked out. Dumbledore flicks his wand making Harry arrive back to the school in the hospital wing. He does the same to the rest of the teenagers.
Fred, George and Rose stands up and sees Dumbledore staring at them worriedly.
"Where's Ally?" Dumbledore asks slightly panicking.
"B...Bellatrix took her" Rose stutters. Dumbledore starts to pace.
"Get to school and stay in the hospital wing. All the Order members at are hurt are there" the three of them nods, and before they could do what they are told, Voldemort arrives holding Alex with her mouth covered.
"Hello Albus" Voldemort smiles wickedly. Lupin, Arthur and Molly runs into the entrance and sees what is going on. Bellatrix, Lucius and Wormtail walks out of three different fireplaces and stops next to Voldemort.
"Tom. Give me my daughter" Dumbledore looks at Alex to see tears falling from her brown eyes. He sees the panic look on her face and fear in her eyes.
"Why would I do that?" Voldemort asks.
"Please Tom. I will give you whatever you want. Please give me Alex and don't hurt her" Voldemort sees the pleading look on Dumbledore's face knowing he will do anything for his daughter. Voldemort looks at Alex to see her absolute terrified look. Voldemort knows what it is like to have a daughter and how it affects the parent. Voldemort used to have a daughter, Alex's age, but 3 years older. She was taken from him and murdered in front of his eyes.
To everyone's shock, Voldemort uncovers Alex's mouth and lets her go.
Alex looks at Voldemort trembling.
"I have no need for your daughter Albus" Alex looks at Dumbledore to see him beckoning for her to come to him. Alex stares at Voldemort as she walks slowly to Dumbledore. Once a foot or two away, she runs into his arms crying, "be ready for a war Albus" Dumbledore looks at Voldemort's eyes to see them blue. Dumbledore knew right then and there, that Voldemort does have a bit of his humanity still inside him.
Without saying a word, Voldemort, Bellatrix, Lucius and Wormtail leaves the Ministry, but not without the Ministry arriving and Fudge seeing Voldemort there.
"He's back. He's really back" Fudge whispers in shock. Dumbledore looks at his daughter, to hear her whimpering.
"Shh, it's over" Dumbledore whispers. Dumbledore knows Alex is going into shock, so he picks her up bridal style and lets her bury her face into his chest. Molly, Arthur and Lupin look over at the father and daughter, sadly but at the same time confused.
All of them walk to the fireplace and heads back to Hogwarts without a word to exchange.
~A&H~
Voldemort is sitting in his throne with his face buried in his hands. On his lap is a photo. In the photo is a girl with dark brown hair and blue eyes. The girl is... Amanda Riddle. Voldemort's daughter.
Voldemort lets tears fall from his eyes.
"I love you Amanda. You will be in my heart forever. I know you never liked me killing little girls and boys, even if they are teenagers. I promise you I will not kill any other child in the world, besides Harry Potter. If I die in this war, I get to see you again. I actually hope that Harry Potter will win the war. I will actually help him kill me. I will give him hints on where the Horcruxes are when the time is right. I made him believe I had his godfather for a reason. Him and Alex needed to hear the prophecy so they can figure out how to kill me" Voldemort wipes his tears away and smiles at the picture, "I love you with all my heart Amanda. I will see you soon"
Voldemort puts the picture in his robes before walking to the mirror. He looks at himself in the mirror and changes his eyes from blue to red.
~H&A~
Harry, Ron, Hermione, Luna, Neville and Ginny are sitting in the hospital wing. Sirus and the other Order members are already there. All they are waiting for is Alex, Dumbledore, Molly, Arthur and Lupin to arrive. Just then the door opens. Lupin, Molly and Arthur walks in first. Then Dumbledore carrying a crying Alex arrives. Alex lets little hiccups leave her mouth, but other than that, nothing. Alex wipes her already swollen red eyes, from tears.
Just then Pomfrey walks over.
"How's Ally?" Pomfrey asks quietly.
"Voldemort took her. She won't let me go so I want you to run a test to make sure she is ok and safe from all dark magic" Pomfrey nods and leads Dumbledore to the back room.
Once there Pomfrey makes Dumbledore sit down on the bed and Alex lies across his lap, like a small little girl again. Pomfrey whispers spells and runs her wand over Alex.
5 minutes later, Pomfrey smiles.
"There is nothing wrong with her. Her may need to stay in your office tonight though, since she is REALLY shaken up" Dumbledore nods with a smile.
"Of course" Dumbledore stands up and picks up his 15 year old daughter. Dumbledore still feels Alex shake in his arms, "I will get Minerva in my office, knowing Alex will need both of us" Pomfrey nods.
"Good night Albus"
"Good night Poppy" Dumbledore smiles and walks out.
As Dumbledore carries Alex up to his office floor he stops.
"Would you like to come with me to see Minerva or stay in my office?" Alex doesn't answer. All she does is hug Dumbledore tighter.
Not even a second later, he hears Alex's voice in his mind.
Stay
Dumbledore looks at Alex confused.
How did you make the connection Ally?
I dunno. I just don't want to be alone tonight Daddy. I need you and Minnie
Ok. Would you like to have a sleepover?
You, Minnie, Hagrid and Sev.
Ok. I will call them.
Dumbledore walks to his office and after setting Alex down on her bed, which Dumbledore always kept out for her, when she got scared at night.
Dumbledore calls McGonagall first.
"Is Alex and everyone ok?" McGonagall's panicked voice rings out. Alex shakily walks over to Dumbledore and sits down next to him on the floor.
"We all are ok. Alex was captured though, but she is ok. She is really shaken up" Dumbledore explains.
"Are you in your office?"
"Yes"
"Sleepover. I will get Hagrid, you get Sev"
"Ok. Thank you"
"Albus, Alex is like a daughter to me. I would drop everything to see her or to protect her. Now what are we going to do about Umbridge? She is still standing outside the Gryffindor Tower to get the DA"
"I know. Just sit tight. I will come and get you. I will take Alex to Severus and he will keep Alex with him"
"Ok" McGonagall and Dumbledore break the call. He wraps his arm around Alex and that next second Dumbledore and Alex are sitting in front of the fireplace in Snape's office.
"Watch Alex please Severus" Dumbledore tells Snape as Snape smiles at them.
"Sleepover?" Dumbledore nods and disappears.
Alex looks up at Snape. Snape smiles and helps Alex stand up. He pulls Alex into a hug and lets her stay in her silent stage.
And that's the chapter. You got the inside look of Voldemort, Alex's bond with McGonagall, Dumbledore, Snape and soon enough, Hagrid. : )
Please review.
