Chapter 35: Avada Kedavra

Tom felt like he was still floating on air as he made his way into the spiral. The trees were so tall they almost hid the blue skies. He circled around and around making his way into the center of the spiral. He could still hear the humming from his demon army outside. He stopped suddenly, when right before him was the largest tree among the grove. It's strength radiated from it trunk and branches, calling Tom to it. The hole that The Gray Lady had once laid the diadem in, had grown large enough for him to walk into. Holding his breath he said quietly, "Lumos" and his way was lit on his journey of destiny to creating another horcrux.

"Dammitt Tom! I am so angry with you right now! " Hermione had tried everything to get out of the shell that was holding her. She had even attempted using her gifts from Flamina, but it was no use. Tom would be the only one who would be able to free her from her prison. Why had he done this?

Looking around her, she noticed that not one of the demons had stayed behind, they had all followed Tom. "I should have realized that something like this would happen." She surmised. "It doesn't mean that I have to be happy about it."

There was way too much happening in her life these days. Who knew what would happen in the next month and a half when the baby came? They would be done at Hogwarts. Where would they go from here? She knew already that she would go nowhere except with Tom. They had discussed it two weeks ago.

{ "I can't believe that we are going to be out of school in less than two months." Hermione had her swollen feet up on the desk in Tom's room. "I am just worried about where this baby will be born."

Tom had looked up from his studies to shoot a glare at her, "What do you mean you're wondering where the baby will be born? The baby will be born in our home."

"There is just one problem Tom, where is home going to be in two months? I just thought I would have this baby at St. Mungos"

"No baby of mine is going to be born in that institution!" Tom jumped up slapping the desk knocking Hermione's feet to the floor. "I have made up my mind and there will be no more discussion about this. Do you understand."

Hermione's solemn face looked up at Tom, "Yes of course" It always scared her when Tom jumped off the handle and allowed his temper to flare with no control.

"Anyhow, I have somewhere lined up for us to stay for several months…until I work a few more things out with my…" Tom stopped talking and looked away from Hermione.

Hermione stood up, rubbing her aching back. These days she wasn't sure what hurt the most, her back, her feet or her swollen belly. How many more ways would she be stretched before this baby came? Where was Tom thinking of them staying? There was only one friend that he was really close to…Abraxas.

"I know where you are planning for us to live, you bastard! I will not live at the Malfoys! " Hermione shook as she screamed back at Tom. "This baby is not going to be born there." Her eyes challenged Tom as she gripped the chair painfully.

Tom was there in a second, roughly grabbing Hermione's chin in his hands. "You will never, ever, call me that again...ever! " His face red and eyes bulging, he towered over Hermione.

"Tom stop, you are hurting me." Hermione didn't care if she was begging him, she just wanted away from him.

"I will not stop until you learn your lesson. Have you learned it yet?" his grip tightened on her face where Hermione knew she could feel bruising occurring.

"Yes…yes I have. I am sorry." Hermione plead with her eyes wanting this torture to end.

Tom let go and pushed her into the chair, "Good, because if it ever happens again you will be very sorry. You won't be pregnant forever." He went and flopped down on his bed.

Hermione looked at him one more time in disgust and silently left. All that she really wanted to do was hex him into next year. How dare he decide where this baby would be born, when it would be her pushing it out of her body? She fumed all of the way back to her room. The next day Tom had tried to make up with her by being more friendly towards her, but she gave him the cold shoulder. The topic never came up again about the fight or where the baby would be born.}

Even now, Hermione was still upset about having her baby at the Malfoy Mansion. There were just too many bad memories from before and she didn't want that to mar her first child's birth. Of course she couldn't explain all of this to Tom without giving away who she really was and what she had come back in time to do.

Those thoughts only made her more agitated. It didn't matter anymore why she had come back to this time. If there was any way that in the future she could influence Tom not to kill Harry's parents, then she would have accomplished what she had really wanted to do; to save Harry, his parents, Ron and many others. It was all a heavy burden to bear. She groaned, hating having all of this time to concentrate on her problems.

The cobwebs were so thick that Tom cast a scourgify before heading in any farther. The excitement built up so much he thought he would jump out of his skin. It was almost time to hold the diadem in his hands. He could feel the draw of the diadem pulling him towards this long sought for treasure. Tom only had to walk another two feet. There, sitting on a jutted out piece of tree trunk, lay the diadem. There must have been some kind of spell put on the diadem to preserve it. It looked in perfect condition and he could feel the pulse of the Hogwarts founder running through it. With shaky hands he reached out and his fingers hovered over the diadem. Now that the moment was finally here to claim the diadem he seemed hesitant. His lips came out to wet his dry lips and he took a huge breath. Letting the air out slowly he felt his fingers grasp the diadem.

Laughing he began to talk to himself, "What was I expecting? Maybe that it would not let me touch it or it would explode?" Tom laughed again as he held the diadem to his chest. "All that you are is just a crown, worn by Hogwarts royalty. Soon you will be something special as a vessel for my soul. "He looked at the diadem with outright admiration.

Tom turned around with a hop and almost floated out of the tree. He was anxious to show Hermione that he finally had found the diadem. Of course, he would also be dealing with her anger about the protection shell that had been placed around her. If she would only realize that so many things that he did was for her and his son's own good.

As he came out of the spiral, the demon army stood waiting for his next command. Looking around at the evil figures, he felt the energy that comes from having power over others. This is the way he always wanted it to be. Dead or alive he wanted to rule over all. With this new acquisition he was more near to reaching that ultimate power. There was of course one more thing that would need to be done with the diadem. He would wait until the next opportunity came his way. Tom knew whom he really wanted to use to make this next horcrux on, but he was still back at Hogwarts.

The demons with their black robes fluttering lifted in the air taking Tom with them. The green mist once again swirled around them as if lifting them up into a cloud. With the same swiftness shown before, they soon were landing at the spot where Hermione sat on the rock.

She looked up at him, "Tom get me out of here this minute!" He could see that it might be safer to stay out here with the demon army, than face Hermione. Whispering the words in reverse that brought the demons to him, they lifted up into the green mist and disappeared.

The protective spell fell from Hermione. She walked quickly over to him and started to yell at him, "Tom…how dare you leave me…" she stopped when Tom pulled the diadem from behind his back and put it in front of her face. This act rendered Hermione speechless. "Oh…oh…you have it!" she jumped at Tom and almost crushed the diadem before Tom swiftly moved it overhead. He hugged her with his other arm.

"Isn't it beautiful? This is really Rowena Ravenclaw's lost diadem." Tom showed off the diadem like it was his most precious possession. "It is in the most perfect condition still."

"Can I hold it Tom? Please?" Hermione reached out to touch the diadem. For a moment it looked as if Tom was not going to let her touch it. Then just as fast, he brought the diadem down to Hermione's hands and placed it there. "It holds such a magical aura around it, much stronger than other magical items I have held. "

"Please, do not be angry with me. I only did what I needed to protect you. " Tom looked at Hermione imploring her with his eyes. It was at times like this that her anger receded quickly.

"I only wanted to be part of the discovery. I felt like it was my right to be there."

Tom grinned and said, "You would not have liked where I found it. There were bugs and many spider webs."

Hermione laughed at him, "You know that bugs and spiders don't bother me. Now those grotesque demons did bother me." Her smile disappeared as she looked at him for answers. "Where did they come from Tom? How did they get here?"

Tom was not sure that he wanted to truly tell her about the demons. "Well, back at Hogwarts…" Tom went reeling backwards as a spell hit him in the leg. He went crumbling to the ground as Hermione screamed. She pulled her wand out as she turned around to see who had attacked Tom. Coming out of the trees were the three brothers from the Inn. Their wands were all drawn pointed straight at her. Hermione threw a spell at them, which was deflected by the tallest brother.

Tom screamed at Hermione, "Get down now!" He struggled to get up and his leg was still useless.

"Protego!" Hermione shouted out. She shot off another hex, a conjunctivitis curse that hit the younger brother. "I can't see …help me I can't see anything." He stumbled into his brother knocking his spell off course.

"You dumb arse, look what you have done!" The older brother had been hit by his brother's Pertrificus Totalus and had immediately fallen over frozen.

Tom's laughter could be heard floating through the air, "Now Hermione…" and she turned back to the brothers, "Crucio" and the second brother went down in pain. He had been too busy yelling at his brother to notice Hermione. The wild excitement of actually casting this spell again fueled Hermione's anger and retribution.

The younger brother tried looking from one brother to the other and realized he was not currently in a very good position. Hermione held her wand towards him, "What do you want? Why did you attack us?" he stood there, wand down not knowing how to answer her. "Answer me now!" Looking at the second brother again she cast another Crucio on him, smiling at his pain. The third brother blindly looked around, confused, trying to think about what he should do.

Tom grabbed onto the tree trunk that Hermione had sat on and balanced himself. His wand was securely in his hand as he stared with desire at his woman. This was when she was at her best.

"Diffindo", shouted out the youngest brother, not knowing where it would hit, but hoping that it would help his situation. Hermione, hit by the spell, crumbled to the ground screaming and holding onto her chest.

"Oh Gods it hurts," Hermione clutched at her chest, as her own blood soaked through her robes.

Tom looked at Hermione and shouted venomously, "You will die for that…Avada Kedavra! " and the green light hit the youngest brother in the chest and he went down next to the second brother. He dropped down next to Hermione, "Love, let me see," and he peeled back Hermione's robe to see the cut from the spell. The cut was wide and deep and still bleeding profusely. "Vulnera Sanentur" and the deep wound sealed itself together. "Tergeo" and he cleaned up the dried blood from Hermione's robe.

Tom then lifted up the diadem high above his head, "You fools are making this very easy for me today. Now, you need to answer my woman's question…why did you attack us?"

The second brother, still in agony from Hermione's Crucio spells managed to spit out, "Our Mum knew that you were up to no good. We watched the whole thing with those evil beings. Who are you?"

Tom limped over and with his good leg kicked the man in his ribs. "You are in no position to be the one asking questions, but since you are going to die today you might as well know who is going to kill you. " Tom glanced back at Hermione relieved to see her sitting back up on the stump. She was still clutching onto her chest with one hand and rubbing her belly with the other. She looked up to him and tried to give him a smile, but grimaced in pain.

"I am Lord Voldemort, the greatest wizard this world will ever see. You should have stayed away." The older brother's eyes rolled up to him in fury, but was useless and unable to help himself or his brother.

"Our Mum said that you probably had a treasure buried out here in the forest. It didn't make sense that you would take your pregnant wife tramping through a forest unless it was something special you were retrieving. He started stirring and tried to sit up, "Accio wands" and all three of the brother's wands flew through the air and landed in Hermione's open hand.

"Thank you love" and Tom turned back towards Hermione and gave a quick bow. Now he did receive a small grin from his lady as she nodded to him. "Now back to you…Crucio" Tom shouted out accompanied by his psychotic laughter. The second brother shook uncontrollably, screaming again in pain.

Hermione shuddered, as she watched Tom cursing him, remembering how it felt to have Crucio cast on you multiple times. She felt no guilt or sorrow for the act towards this man or his brothers. They deserved everything they were getting for attacking them. She just wanted this to be over with, so she could wander off and find a spot to relieve her swollen bladder.

"It is time…I have waited several months for this." He walked around the two surviving brothers. Stopping at the head of the oldest brother he kicked him hard in the head. The blood ran out of his head soaking the ground. "You are useless wizards…Avada Kedavra " Tom's feet next stopped at the body of the second brother. "I saved you for last; something special."

Hermione watched the whole scene unfolding, holding her breath. She was going to witness what she, Harry and Ron had always wondered about: how a horcrux was made.

Latin words came from Tom's mouth. There were many words she could understand and others she could not hear. The diadem rose in the air and hovered over the second brother. Tom's wand pointed at the diadem and then to the brother and back to diadem. With a loud proclamation, "Avada Kedavra" the brother died and the diadem turned a blood red color. Tom then pointed his wand at himself and uttered a few quiet words. Screeching in pain Tom fell to the ground. His screams continued so long Hermione felt like she was going to vomit. The scream was something she knew that she would never forget the rest of her life. What else would one expect when you were tearing your soul apart?

Hermione's tears joined Tom's as finally his screaming stopped. He cast one final spell and the diadem swirled around in the air five times, glowed a deep onyx color and fell down on the ground next to Tom.

Hermione sat on her stump, not daring to walk over to Tom. She could not ask him how he was doing after he had just made a horcrux. So she sat, patiently waiting for him to recover. Finally she could not wait any longer and wandered off into the thick trees to take care of her now overwhelming problem.

As she came back into the clearing, Tom was sitting on the ground. He reverently held the diadem in his hands. "Come, it is time to leave here and Albania" He stood, placing the diadem on his head. For some odd reason, it looked fitting upon his head.

"What about them?" Hermione pointed towards the slain brothers.

Tom's face showed anger only for a moment, "You are right; you have given me an idea."

As Tom and Hermione walked away from the Inn, they heard the screams from the old woman. She had just discovered the bodies of her sons lying in a heap in the parlor. Tom, still wearing the diadem, grabbed Hermione's hand and smiled as they walked into the sunset, Hogwarts bound.
