Two more chapters and that's it :)

I ended up with something different than the book/movie so Sirius gets to live!

hope I didn't bore you.

Chapter 28

The next day, Dey was still in her bed, with the book resting on her knees. Until she finally read something that caught her eyes and she jumped out.

"Harry!" She called as she ran in the great hall towards him. "I found something!" She sat beside him and, along with Ron and Hermione, they paid attention. "The last piece…it's in Montem Mortuus."

"Where?" Ron asked.

"Montem Mortuus." Dey repeated. "It's the cave where you're supposed to unite all the pieces. It says that, once, a wizard needed the powers, Julio Durce, to help his younger sister who had been possessed. Only found one piece and, in hope that the others would be there, he took it to the cave and placed it there, but he wasn't ready for the creatures the cave held. He died and the piece was left there. If no one has taken it, that is."

"So you believe it's there?" Hermione asked.

"Yeah, it was 15 years ago and I doubt anyone goes to that place. It's in the middle of the ocean."

"And how are you planning on getting there?" Harry asked.

"Already have an idea. Meet me tonight at 10 in the common room, ok?"

"Tonight? Are you sure you wanna do this?" Harry asked.

"Yes, now, if you aren't coming, alright. I already have an ally."

"George?" Ron asked.

"No…he doesn't know-anyways, I won't go alone." Harry just stayed quiet and looked to his friends.

"You aren't seriously thinking about it?" Hermione snapped. "It's mad!"

"But…if it's the only way to help her-"

"No," Hermione interrupted Ron. "If we ask Dumbledore-"

"Do you know where he is?" Dey asked, and she stayed quiet. "I can't wait anymore, Hermione. If you're in, you'll meet me, if you're not, then I'll see you tomorrow." Harry looked again to his friends.

"I'm willing to help." Ron said.

"Dey, you know I'd love to help you, but this is too dangerous."

"It's the only plan I've got."

"Maybe there's something else and we're missing it." Hermione kept insisting.

"I've searched everywhere for a way out. My parents did it too, along with other wizard friends and nothing. This is the only thing I've got and I'm taking it."

"…Alright, fine." Harry said. "But if it gets too dangerous or difficult, we're leaving quick."

"Fine, I'll take that." Dey got up. "I should go back and um…" She looked down to her pajamas. "change."

Ron and Harry grinned before she walked away, Hermione was still not convinced at all to this. The clock hit 10pm and Harry and Dey, with a messenger bag containing the book and the other two pieces, went down, together. In a few minutes Ron came down.

"Do you know if Hermione's coming?" Harry asked and Ron shrugged.

"She didn't bring the subject up again."

"I'm here." She said, sighing and entering. "Thought about it, I just know I'm gonna have to get you two out of trouble."

"Again." Dey added, chuckling and Hermione joined.

"…We've done stuff with out your help." Harry said.

"Quidditch stuff, I guess." Hermione responded and they stayed quiet.

"So, how are we getting there?" Ron changed the subject.

"In the thestrals." Dey responded. "Luna recommended them and I think it's a good idea."

"Luna?" Hermione asked. "Is she your ally?"

"Yes."

At the moment, the portrait opened and Luna entered, smiling like always.

"Good evening." She spoke in her soft tone.

"I thought she would be a good help, it helps that she's the other one that knows." Dey added.

"Alright." Harry nodded. "How do we get out."

"That's kind of the hard part." Dey said, biting her lip. "But nothing complicated, I guess."

"But we need a plan." Hermione pointed out.

"I kind of have one," Dey said. "All of you meet me at the entrance in about 10 minutes, but try to hide."

"What are you gonna do?" Harry asked.

"Trust me." Dey grinned before walking out.

They all looked at each other, kind of worried about her plan, except Luna. She was looking fully trusted. After 10 minutes they were heading to the entrance, but voices made them hide in the first floor. They saw Draco, along with Crabbe and Goyle, taking Dey. Draco was holding her arm and pulling her beside him. She looked serious. The trio and Luna looked at each other, thinking they had caught her.

"Are you sure about this?" Draco asked Dey when they stepped at the door.

"Yes. They told me they were planning on visiting Dumbledore tonight." Dey spoke.

"Why are you telling me this?" Draco asked, curious.

"The idea was dangerous, it's outside of the school and they wouldn't listen. So I just decided to stop them, somehow."

Draco raised his eyebrows before lifting his wands and unlocking the door. The others were peeking into them, with their attention on Dey. They saw her wand slipping out of her slip and her hand grabbing it right before it fell. They took it as a sign to get ready. When the doors opened, the Slytherins walked out, but Dey stayed there.

"Aren't you coming?" Draco asked before she threw a spell at him and sent him away.

Crabbe and Goyle raised their wands to knock her, but Harry and Lune sent them flying away.

"Nice." Hermione said, standing at the entrance.

"Thanks" Dey responded before they started to walk.

Dey forgot about the moon and didn't bring anything to cover, so her green skull started to glow and Ron looked at it.

"Wicked." He said, smiling.

"Ron!" Hermione said and the others laughed.

Right when they were reaching the bridge, something hit Ron and he went to the ground, twisting and turning. A rope had wrapped around him, even his neck. Hermione quickly went down to try and untie it with Luna. They looked behind to catch Umbridge, grinning. Harry stood in front of Dey to hide her face and she turned around, shutting her eyes from Ron's body.

"Stop it!" Hermione shouted. "You're hurting him!"

"You need to learn!" Umbridge yelled as the three Slytherins joined her.

"You're going to kill him!" Harry said.

Dey gripped her fist around her wand and turned to shoot at Umbridge, pushing her back. Hermione and Luna were able to untie Ron and he gasped for air.

"Who was that?" Umbridge yelled.

"Me" Harry answered.

"Who are you hiding there?"

"No one." Harry said in a funny tone.

"It's that Deyanira girl!" Draco spilled.

"Step aside!"

Ron walked beside Harry to cover Dey, Luna and Hermione followed.

"Step…aside." Umbridge was losing her patience as she raised her wand.

The four of them did it too, along with Draco and his friends. Their hands were shaking and someone was about to shoot soon, but something exploding in the air made them all look to the flashing lights in the sky; they weren't thunders. Two flying balls of sparks flew around the great hall and Dey, along with Harry and the rest smiled. Fred and George flew to them in their brooms, throwing more Weasleys' Wildfire Whiz-Bangs before jumping off their brooms and standing in front of the younger students, with wands in hand.

"Missed us, professor?" Fred asked as both grinned.

Umbrodge's lips twitched before she threw a spell, but the twins put a shield before attacking back. Draco and his friends aimed for Harry and his friends and they fought back. Dey stayed giving them all her back, hiding her face, not wanting Umbridge to see. Umbridge launched a spell at Fred and he dodged it, but she lost her patience and threw the cruciatus curse at George.

"George!"

Fred's calls made everyone stop and Dey turned, gasping. George was twisting on the ground and groaning, pressing his teeth and shutting his eyes.

"Ah, professor…?" Crabbe said and Umbridge turned her eyes to Dey.

She lowered her wand and everyone looked at her. At her skulled, green face. Umbridge wasn't believing what she was seeing. George got on his knees and hands and looked at Dey who looked back at him with lips twitching in anger before turning to Umbridge.

"…the Ministry would just love to see this." Umbridge said.

Everyone thought Dey would scream, but she just grinned.

"No point on hiding it anymore."

She swung her wand and two lights came out, hitting Crabbe and Goyle. Harry hit Draco and Fred took care of Umbridge, throwing some more of their Peruvian dark powder. Dey helped George get up before the seven of them ran out.

"How did you get here?" Dey asked the twins as they ran down the hill.

"Harry." Both responded and Harry gulped, afraid Dey would say something.

"He sent us a letter about an hour ago." George added.

"Flew here as fast as we could." Fred continued.

Dey just cleared her throat, looking at Harry and he just smiled. When they got to the herd of thestrals, George took off his jacket and gave it to Dey, then he put up the hood. They all got on the creatures and flew out. They followed the ocean that surrounded Hogwarts, who looked endless, crossing lands until they finally reached the cave they were looking for, it was under an island and water was crashing at the entrance. Dey took off the hood, not needing to hide from the moon anymore. Everything seemed ok, except for the rocks they had to step on. They were thin and some broke when they stepped on them, dropping on the dark water. They reached the end of the cave and there was nothing, except a puddle of water that reflected walls of the cave.

"It's suppose to be here." Dey spoke, with the echo behind her.

"Let's just go back then." Hermione said.

"…Guys."

Ron made them all turned and give a step back, there were these weird creatures, some they've never seen before. They looked like a mistreated dog, hairless in half of his body, big paws that were almost bone, and claws sticking out. They didn't have ears and yellow eyes. There were three of them, growling at the group.

"What are those?" Harry asked.

"Some kind of messed up were-wolf?" Ron said.

One took steps closer and raised his paw to attack Lune, but Dey threw him a spell and the creature backed away. The other two growled before jumping to attack. Hermione and Ron took care of one, Harry and Luna of another, leaving the third to the twins and Dey. Luna was on the edge of the puddle and still fighting. While Harry took his turn she looked to the puddle and smiled.

"We have to drown"

"What?" Harry panted.

"We have to drown to rise up." Harry knocked the creature away and turned to her.

"What are you talking about?"

Luna just jumped back and dived in the puddle.

"Luna!" Harry and Dey called.

They went to the edge as the others kept fighting, but they saw nothing, but the reflection.

"She said we have to drown to rise up." Harry repeated Luna's words.

Dey gave it a thought before looking at the dog creatures and pointed at the ceiling, covered in stalactites.

"Reducto!"

The light shot of light hit a few ones and Fred pulled George away from their creature before they fell on it, going trough it and making a cry escape his lips.

"C'mon!" Harry called for Ron and Hermione.

Fighting they walked back to the puddle. Harry grabbed Hermione and pushed her in. Ron turned to the action and Harry pushed him. Dey told Fred and George to jump in, they did, and Harry and her jumped right before the last mutt got his claws down to them. Harry and Dey rose out of the water, gasping for air and shaking their heads.

"You alright?" George asked, floating beside them with Fred and the others.

"You were right Luna!" Harry said to the little floating blonde who smiled, thankfully.

"Look" Fred called and pointed to the front.

There was a piece of solid ground with a stair of rocks going around a tall pedestal and a circular rock was there, place on it was the third piece of the plate.

"There it is!" Dey said, "it's the last one!"

"Huh, that wasn't so hard." Ron said and everyone chuckled.

They all started to swim, getting together. They were halfway when something rushed to Dey and a bony hand pulled her ankle. She grabbed on to George, but her wet fingers slipped away.

"Dey!" He called.

Everyone stopped swimming and looked around, but the lake was too dark. George and Harry dived in first and were able to see Dey when she flashed spells at the creatures that were pulling her down; they were just skeletons with a thin layr of skin and a few strands of hair, their eyes were black and hallowed. She was also kicking them and pushing them off her. George and Harry threw spells, but they did nothing. A huge light flashed behind the guys and made the Inferi get off Dey. They all looked over to see Luna with her wand lighted up by Lumos Maxima. George went lower and grabbed Dey to get her out. When they reached the surface, Hermione and Ron were already on the ground, Fred was on one knee on the edge. He helped Luna get out and then Dey. Ron and Hermione panicked and the others turned to see more of those creatures going out of the water and swimming to them.

"They are inferi" Luna said. "Dead corpses, no spell can kill them off, just the light or the heat sends them away. Think of lights and heat. Incendio!"

A ball of fire escape her wand and hit a spot on the water, making a few of them swim back down. They all did the same, started to throw fire or light spells to keep them away as they walked backwards to the stairs, but there were too much. Dey lowered her wand before running to a rock that was almost on the water.

"Dey!" George called, making the others look.

"Cover your ears!"

She jumped before George stopped her and the inferi turned to her, all they wanted was the rest of the plate. George was about to jump, but Harry and Fred stopped him and pulled him back. Luna, Ron and Hermione covered their ears. The water didn't moved and they started to get worried. Then a little water quake happened and they walked away. They noticed a patch of black, even blacker, moved away. The water stood still again and George called for Dey, but nothing. He felt his heart sinking when Harry called and no one came out. They all moved forward and a splash burst out. Dey gasped and coughed. George and Fred went in to help her swim back to the ground.

"What happened?" Hermione asked.

"I screamed." Dey said and grinned.

The others smile to see it all worked and she was fine. George got her up and she looked up to the pedestal. She took a deep breath and went first to the stairs. They all followed until something shot at the pedestal and made the stairs crack. They turned to see death eaters flying around. The kids just started to shot spells. Some eaters passed by close to them, their hands would reach to grab them. George just pushed Dey to keep going up and he followed. They stood in front of the third piece placed on the rock while George stand guard. She took out the other two pieces and they shined even more. She placed the second piece and the swirls connected perfectly. She looked back to see George fighting and took a deep breath, thinking this was it. She placed the third piece and a flash shot out, pushing George down to the edge of the pedestal. Dey felt her skin burning, she let out a scream, making everyone stop and cover their eyes. She shut her eyes and tried to let go of the plate, but she was glued to it. George sat up, trying to resist the painful screams as he called for her. She couldn't hear a thing, not even herself screaming. It was all mute to her. She felt her heart stopping and she suddenly shut her lips and her eyes opened. George looked to see her falling back. His arms grabbed her and she fell on his lap with eyes shut.

"D-Dey…?" He asked, grabbing her shin. Fred ran to them and stood frozen when he saw the scene. "D-Dey! Wake up?" He placed a hand over her chest and his breath cut, not feeling a beat.

A death eater appeared in front of him and walked to them, George just held Dey tighter. When the eater raised his wand, a tray of white smoke took him away. Few more of those appeared, taking the death eaters away. Sirius appeared beside Harry, who smiled before they fought together. Lupin, Tonks and Mad-eye were also there, along with others of the order. Sirius and Harry ran up to see George, crying and holding Dey, who was still not moving.

"You have to get out of here." Sirius finally spoke.

"What about you?" Harry asked.

"We'll hold them down, they just wanted to get to her before she did it, and they also heard you were here. As soon as you leave we'll do it."

"C'mon, Georgie." Fred said, not too motivated.

"I'm not leaving her!"

"No, of course not." Sirius said.

Lupin appeared beside them and took out a blanket from his bag. Tonks ran up with Ron, Hermione and Luna. They all did the same as Harry, stood paralyzed at Dey's body.

"Everyone grab an end!" Lupin said, stretching the blanket.

Everyone did as they told, including Sirius and Tonk. Lastly was George, still holding Dey. He held her tighter when he felt they started to spin and their bodies went weightless.
