Chapter 16
Eyes, Like a sunrise
Like a rainfall
Down my soul
And I wonder, I wonder why you look e lie like that
What you’re thinking
What’s behind
Don’t tell me, but it feels like love
‘Evergreen’ — Westlife
‘It’s the old Riddle house!’ Sean explained when he followed the small blue point, which was Ginny’s transmitter, on the parchment that showed a map of England.
‘So there’s Voldemort’s hiding.’
‘What are we waiting for then?’ Albus asked the three men while Snape snored. Right after the night that Sean, Remus and Sirius had appeared, Albus had called Snape and McGonagall and told them what he had been told at that night. So, now the six of them were sitting in Albus office and followed Ginny’s transmitter on the map.
Remus, Sean and Sirius exchanged glances. They weren’t sure if they were allowed to tell the whole prophesy. It was a confusing one. And without their ‘friend’ no one of them had been able to understand it. But there were facts that none of the three teachers knew. And so, they didn’t know if they were allowed to tell them.
‘You haven’t become better in reading prophecies, Albus.’ They heard a female voice giggling above them.
When they looked up at the ceiling of the room they saw a ghost flying down towards them.
‘Good morning, Gwendolyn.’ Albus smiled. Gwendolyn nodded at him and looked at the other persons in the room. The woman she had seen before, and she knew that she was a teacher here as well as the head of Gryffindor house. Also she knew that man that was in black. He too was a teacher as far as she knew, and the head of Slytherin. Then her gaze flew over the other three men. The oldest of the men, she didn’t know, but therefore she knew the two younger men.
‘So, I finally see the two of you again.’ She smiled at the two. The rest of the people in the room looked more than confused.
‘How do you know each other?’
‘Oh, when they were still at school a picture of myself was the hidden entrance of one of the shortcuts these two used along with two of their friends. So we came to talk sometimes.’
‘Nice to see you again, Gwendolyn!’ Both of them said at the same time.
‘So, you know, why we can’t just go in the house of Riddle right now and kill him? Then finally tell us, or do I have to remember you that we have to start our classes in less than an hour.’ Sirius threw Snape a deathly glare before Remus spoke up.
‘We don’t know if we are even allowed to tell you. You have just to trust us!’ Snape looked at him as if Remus had gone mad.
‘Trust? YOU? Okay, that’s it. Now I’m sure this is going to be a trap! Who tells us that they aren’t working for Voldemort himself? They show up here in the middle of the night and want to tell us how we shall fight against the dark lord. They knew more than we do but don’t want to tell us! Why do I have the feeling that you're working for someone! And I don’t have the feeling it’s somebody good.’ He eyed the three one after one, but no one of them answered him.
‘Well, for one thing, you’re right: you won’t like it!’ Gwendolyn stated when she sat flew up to one of the windows at the top of the room and stayed there watching the scene below her.
‘SO? Tell us finally!’ Sirius looked up at him provokingly and grinned.
‘Okay, you want to know? Good, then listen: 1. Yes, we’re working for someone. For someone, who can’t do this on his own for some special circumstances’
‘And this mysterious one would be?’
‘I was just getting there. But you should sit down.’ Snape gave another snore and looked waiting at Sirius. His arms were rested on his hips and he was still standing. Sirius shrugged.
‘Okay, but don’t say I didn’t warn you. We’re working for none other than Slytherin.’ Now Snape decided he had to sit down.
‘And about us just rushing into the house and killing Voldemort. We have to wait. It’s in the prophecy.’ Remus explained. The three staff members of Hogwarts looked curious at Remus, wanting him to explain what he meant with this.
‘It’s about the last to verses of the prophecy. The heir is Hermione, and the one of the dark side, the important one, is Draco.’
‘But why is he important to the dark side?’
‘He is important to ONE of the dark side.’ Gwendolyn spoke from above them. ‘He is important to his father.’ Minerva McGonagall raised her eyebrows but didn’t say what she thought about that.
‘As soon as their child is born, Voldemort will die.’
~~~~~~~
Hermione was eating breakfast in their bedroom with Draco, both still laying in bed. Madam Pomfrey had told Hermione to stay in her bed until the baby was born after what happened to Ginny. Although that had nothing to do with each other, she wouldn’t risk anything.
So, right now, Draco was feeding her with strawberries.
‘You know, we could continue that when the child is born, I like you feeding me.’ Hermione smiled. Draco raised his eyebrows at her when he took another strawberry in his hand.
‘Really?’ He asked before he parted his lips slightly and put the strawberry in between. He lowered his head over hers and let the tip of the strawberry rest at Hermione’s lips. She parted them just far enough to pull at the strawberry and let her lips meet Draco’s.
‘Do you know how much I love you?’ She whispered on his lips when the strawberry was gone.
~~~~~~~
Madam Pomfrey looked at her calendar and sighed. Hermione should give birth now. It could be every day. She arose form her chair and went to check if she had everything there what she needed.
~~~~~~~
Damon walked up and down in his room early this morning. He should be preparing his classes for the fifth years but he was too worried. Something was happening. He felt it. And he was afraid it had something to do with Hermione. He decided to leave a note that he wouldn’t be holding any classes today and went to the headrooms.
~~~~~~~
Moonlight jumped up onto the bed just when Draco and Hermione were finished with breakfast. She looked at Hermione and meowed. Hermione petted the head of the kitten and suddenly inhaled sharply.
‘Mya?’ Draco asked afraid.
‘Mya are you alright?’ She smiled weakly at him when another wave overcame her.
‘I guess there is someone who wants to come out of me.’ She whispered.
~~~~~~~
‘The baby!’ Everyone in the headmaster’s office looked asking at Sirius.
‘Hermione’s getting the baby. We have to go. Now!’
‘But how do you?’
‘The cat. Whenever something important is happening to Hermione, she tells me. We wanted to make sure that no one is going to hurt her or the baby or worse, kill them. But we really have to go now!’ With that he arose and Remus followed.
‘I’m staying here and make sure that Hermione is getting everything that she needs. Maybe Madam Pomfrey needs some help.’ Minerva made her way towards the hospital wing, for she was sure, Madam Pomfrey didn’t know anything about the birth yet.
Albus and Sean were the last two in the room.
‘Sean.’ The old man was still sitting in his chair.
‘I can’t Albus. I can’t go in there. I can’t face him. I wish I could, for Mya and Damon but I just can’t, you’re better of there without me.’ Sean led his head fall and sighed. Albus looked down at his old friend, not sure what to tell him.
What could you tell a man who had lost his family, his children and his grandchildren? Who had to watch all this without being able to do anything about this?
So, Albus merely placed his hand on the shoulder of his old friend and squeezed it before he went to follow the other three men out of the office.
~~~~~~~
Draco was walking impatiently up and down in front of the fireplace in their common room. The second McGonagall and Madam Pomfrey had come in, they had shoed him out of the room. Now all he could do was stay out here and listen to Hermione’s screams.
‘Can you calm down? You’re making me nervous!’ Damon asked. He was sitting on the couch.
Oh Merlin, when will this stop?
~~~~
‘Lucius.’ That voice. How he detested that voice!
‘Yes my Lord?’
‘There is this child. It will be born any minute. And I decided that this child will be my heir. Since the child of Virginia has died, we need a new baby. And then we can finally get rid of that dead body of a child. So, you will go to Hogwarts and get that child for me. Bring me the child of your excuse for a son, Lucius.’
Lucius gave a short nod and disappeared.
~~~~~~~
It seemed like an eternity to Draco before Hermione’s screams finally stopped for good and were replaced by another ones screaming. Draco hurried over to the door of their bedroom and just when he was about to burst into the room, McGonagall opened the door and motioned for him to go in.
He looked over to the bed where Hermione was lying and walked towards her as fast as he could. He sat down on the edge of the bed and took her hand while he stroke a strand of her hair with his other hand from her forehead.
‘Hey.’ He whispered and kissed her sweaty forehead.
‘Hey.’ Hermione smiled up at him.
‘How is he?’ Draco asked looking around to see Madam Pomfrey clean up his son and putting him into a blanket.
‘Oh, he’s one of the cutest babies I’ve ever seen.'
~~~~~~~
Lucius walked down the hallways of Hogwarts. It didn’t take him long until he found the rooms of the head boy and girl. Only scaring some Hufflepuff first years and he knew where he should head.
No he was standing in front of the picture of a snake and a lioness. The snake looked waiting at him.
‘Passsssssssworsssssssssssss?’ She hissed at him.
‘Open that damn door, now!’
‘That’ssssssssss not sssssssssse passsssssssssssssworsssssssssssss!’ Lucius pointed his wand at the snake in the painting and raised his eyebrows.
‘Open that door, now!’ He whispered.
~~~~~~~
‘Lucius, what?’ Damon looked confused at his godfather as he walked into the common room. But he paid no attention to the younger man but walked straight to the bedroom door of Draco and Hermione.
He walked in and saw Hermione lying in the bed with Draco sitting beside her and Madam Pomfrey holding the child.
‘I think it’s better if I take this.’ He said and took the child away from the woman’s arms.
‘What shall this mean?!?’ Madam Pomfrey asked shocked.
‘The dark Lord has decided that this dear child shall become his heir. So, if you will excuse me now—' Draco was about to jump his father but Hermione held his arm before he could get off of the bed.
‘Look at him.’ Lucius looked at her as if she had gone mad.
‘Look at him!’ Her voice was becoming more desperate with every word.
‘Look at him for Merlin’s sake! He’s your grandson!’ Lucius gave a snore but looked down at the boy in his arms for about a second. But this second changed anything. Before he could lift his gaze from the baby, the small boy looked up at him with intense icy grey-blue eyes. These eyes—
‘Draco,’ he whispered when he looked into the baby’s eyes. He sank down onto his knees and held the child close to his heart.
‘Forgive me.’ He placed the baby carefully on the floor before he took the small ball out of his pocket that transported him back to Voldemort’s immediately.
Six reviews. Well, okay, *sigh* I shouldn’t have said I want five, hu? But do you think you are able to give me some more for this chapter? Please? There’s only two chapters left (And the next one is already completed on my PC, the epilogue is started and it’s going to be hot.) so please, be nice readers and give me some reviews
Raija, Bree, Gilthoniel (2x), Fiery Slut, and Kel thank you for your reviews.
Raija: Sean is an old wizard that lives at the castle Vipéreblanc. He works there like Thora and is like a grandfather for Hermione and Damon.
Bree: Ginny is (how can I put this nicely?) mad. With them she means well—them: Dumbledore, Herm, Draco, Mcgonagal...
Gilthoniel: Well the Sean-question should be answered now, and about Harry, sorry, but I can’t tell you just yet.
Fiery Slut: You can look forward to the last chapter. I just started writing it and I think I have to take a break and take a cold shower
Kel: I also like the D/Hr pairing, Draco just doesn’t look right with anyone else and Hermione— well, just put the names together: Hermione Malfoy sounds so much better than Hermione Potter or Hermione Weasley!
