Chapter 9
Voldemort looked at Nina, his eyes flashing a most malevolent red.
“I take it Snape, that this is the nobody in question?”
“It is my Lord.” Severus didn’t know what the hell to do. ‘How the hell was he going to get them out of this?’
“I do not know how you came to be here, but step forward girl.” Voldemort demanded.
Nina told him “Get Lost.”
Voldemort’s eyes flashed again. “Wormtail, bring her to me.”
As Wormtail stepped forward and put out his hand to grab her, she looked at him and spoke in a soft voice. “Corpus Vade Retro.”
Wormtail lowered his hand, turned and went back to stand next to his Lord with a terrified look in his face. ‘Why did he do that?’
Severus stared at her. What did she just do? Oh Gods. She was going to get them killed.
“I told you to bring her to me Wormtail. Now do it.” The Dark Lord was incensed.
Once again as he approached her, she spoke. “Corpus Vade Retro. Dixi!”
Once again he returned to the Dark Lords side.
Severus was at a loss. And where did she learn Latin?
The Dark Lord did not like disobedience. He knew the girl had done something to his servant, but he would not be disobeyed. Pointing his wand at Wormtail he shouted; “Crucio.”
Nina didn’t like what she was seeing. The little fat man disgusted her, but he had not done her any harm as yet. Holding out her hand towards the man now screaming on the floor she simply said; “Relevare.” Wormtail stopped screaming. The curse was lifted.
Voldemort’s head whipped round to the girl, then to Severus. “How dare you. What is this Snape? Who is she.
Severus did not get a chance to answer as Nina stepped forward and spoke. “I am ‘Nina‘.” She drew out her name slowly and before anyone could speak they watched as began to sway, her body changed shape smoothly as she morphed into a large serpent. She raised on her coils until her head was level with Voldemort’s. She hissed at him.
Severus didn’t know whether he was pleased or appalled at the look of horror in the Dark Lords face.
“You are the dark one, the one who’s soul is fractured. The pieces spread far and wide. As I gave you your soul, so can I take it back. You had a body that was human. You have destroyed that body. As I gave you your Body, so can I take it back.”
“Ha! You can do nothing to me. I am all Powerful. I shall crush you. Who are you, that you think you can come and threaten me? You shall die this day. And the traitor you are with.” This last he referred to Severus.
”None shall die when I am here. But the time may come. You can reclaim your lost soul. You can beg forgiveness from your creator.”
“NEVER! I beg from no one. I need no one.” He turned to his own snake. “Nagini. Kill her.”
Severus did not know what they were saying They were speaking in Parceltongue. But by the look on the Dark Lords face it was very, very bad.
As the great serpent that was Voldemort’s familiar rose to face Snake Nina, she said to it. “You serve the Devil. I, Nina, Goddess of serpents, forbid it. You shall serve him no more.”
Severus, Wormtail, who by this time was back on his feet, and Voldemort all looked as Nagini bowed her head to snake Nina, and slithered away. Nina changed back into herself again. She held out both if her hands, palms up to Severus and told him. “Come. We are leaving.”
Voldemort, pulled out of his shock from seeing his snake disobey him and leave him just because this girl had told her to, tuned to them. You are going nowhere. Pointing his wand at Severus he screamed “CRUCIO!”
Before the spell could reach Severus, before he even realised what was happening, Nina had grasped his hands and held them tightly, standing in front of him and taking the full force of the curse. And she was smiling. She was smiling up at him through the curse and nothing was happening. The Crucio was having no effect whatsoever.
Voldemort would not let go. For fifteen minutes Voldemort held the curse on them with every ounce of strength that he had. Nina just kept hold of Severus’ hands. Smiling up at him all the time. And Severus gripped her hands in return as unable to help himself, he smiled back down at her.
Finally the curse ended. Voldemort knew he was getting nowhere. He gave an instruction to Wormtail and together he and Voldemort cast ‘AVADA CADAVRA’ at the pair holding hands.
Nina did not let go, nor did she stop smiling at Severus. Severus knew that they were going to die now, but he had always known that he would die sometime during this battle between dark and light. As the bright green glow of the killing curse surrounded them both, he just wished that the beautiful young creature in front of him did not have to die as well. He wanted her too be safe. Before he could think about what he was doing, he leaned forward, and kissed her tenderly on the lips. He was most surprised when she kissed him back. As their lips parted, the curse lifted.
Severus did not even realise that it had lifted. All he knew was that he loved this girl/woman in front of him.
The next thing that Severus did know, they were both at Hogwarts. Not only were they at Hogwarts, but Nina had apperated them straight back into the Headmasters office. Causing Albus to fall off his chair in shock.
The couple turned their heads toward the Headmasters desk when they heard the bump and clatter. They saw no one for a moment. Then Albus crawled round the side of the desk to pull himself up, his glasses askew on his face.
“Albus? What on earth are you doing down there?” He and Nina helped him to stand and sat him back in his seat.
“How? How did you….No one can Apperate inside of Hogwarts Severus. You know that.”
“I do Albus. But apparently Miss Manohel did not.” Severus was smiling as he spoke. He had never seen his friend so flummoxed before.
“I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to do anything wrong.”
“”Miss Manohel, Nina. You did not do wrong. It is just that it should not have been possible to do what you just did. I am surprised, that is all.”
“You think that was odd Albus. You won’t believe what happened at Malfoy Manor.”
At that moment Kali appeared. The little elf had felt her. She knew that she had returned. “Miss Nina. You is not to go off like that. Kali was sooo worried about you. Is you hurting? Did the Evil One harm you?”
“I am fine thank you Kali. Don’t worry.”
“Miss must come straight back to bed. You is catching cold like that. No proper clothes on. Is not good to around in only nightgown.”
Nina looked down at herself and went red. She wrapped her arms around herself protectively as she realised what she was wearing. Or wasn’t. “Erm….I. Oh! Please, excuse me.” she said to the two men looking at her. I…I have to go now. Kali took her hand and the disappeared.
Albus looked at Severus with a questioning look on his face. Severus knew that he would not be getting any sleep tonight.
While Kali was settling Nina into bed with a clean nightie on and a mug of hot chocolate in her hand, the little elf felt very bad. “I is failed you Miss. Kali is bad elf.”
“What? What are you talking about Kali?”
“I is not keeping you safe. I is letting you go to bad place. You might have gots yourself killed and Kali is not there to help you. I is bad elf. I is got to punish myself.”
“Kali. It wasn’t your fault. It wasn’t anyone’s fault. I don’t know how I got to where I went. It Just happened. And I’m back now aren’t I? Me and the Professor are both safe and unhurt. I do not want you punished.”
“Kali stared at Nina. You is very gracious Miss. Thank you. Kali will keep closer eye on you from now on. Kali will not let you out of her sight.”
Nina was too tired to argue. As her eyes started to close, Kali carefully took the half drunk mug of chocolate from her hands and pulled the bedcovers up to Nina’s chin. She was determined that she would sit with the young miss all night, watching her.
Up in Albus’ office Severus was telling the headmaster all that had transpired during his visit with Voldemort. “You should have seen her Albus. Did you know she speaks Latin by the way? The Dark Lord was incensed. She broke his Crucio curse on that rat Wormtail. When he ordered Wormtail to bring her to him she made him go back and leave her alone. Twice! She turned into a bloody great snake and spoke to the Dark Lord in Parceltongue. I do not know what they said but he was livid. When he tried to set that ruddy great snake of his on her she spoke to it and it left. It just slithered away.”
Albus did not speak. He sat at his desk with his fingers steeple under his chin, listening to and watching his Potions Master as he became more and more animated.
“She was bloody fantastic Albus. I wish you had been there to see it. He cast Crutio on me you know. But she stepped in front of it and took hold of my hands and it had no effect whatsoever. Even after he had exhausted himself because he had held it on us for so long. That alone should have been enough to kill her and leave me insane.” He stopped his excited raving and turned to the Headmaster as he sat down His voice was quiet now, but Albus could still hear him. “Albus….Oh Gods Albus. You won’t believe what happened next.” Severus’ eyes were misted up now. Al of his emotion was threatening to spill over and down his cheeks. He did not care. “She kept hold of my hands. Even after the curse had ended. She must have known what was going to happen next. She must have known.”
Albus still did not speak. He knew that Severus had to tell this in his own time, in his own way.
“As we held hands and looked at each other, Voldemort and Wormtail, they.” he choked back a sob. “They cast the killing curse on us.” He whispered. Then a little louder as he looked up at Albus. “They cast the fucking ‘Avada,’ on both of us. Albus gasped. He could not help himself.
“I heard them shout the words. I saw the green light all around us. All I remember thinking was how unfair it was how unfair it was that she should have to die. Die before she had even lived. But we did not die. I don’t know how or why but, We did not die. It just surrounded us and did nothing. The Dark Lord must have realised that it was not going to work because the curse was lifted. That is when we appeared her. It was Nina. Nina who brought us back.”
Severus could not speak any more. He just sat. Waiting to see if the Head master would speak.. He had not told him about the kiss. That gentle, beautiful tender kiss. The kiss that had been returned. It had not been a passionate kiss. No. To Severus it had been a kiss that spoke of love. A love that he did not know he was harbouring until that moment when their lips had met. And she had returned it. He was sure of that. Wasn’t he? Had he got it wrong? Was it his imagination. Maybe he had misunderstood because of what was going on around them at the time. His doubts flooded into his mind like a tidal wave.
He came out of his reverie when Albus spoke. “It would seem that Miss Manohel’s powers are already greater then either of us imagined. Yet she is nowhere near ready according to Kali.”
“If you had only seen Albus. I confess that was at a loss as to how to react when she suddenly appeared in that room. But I did nothing. I could do nothing. Everything that happened in that room this evening was Nina.”
“You say that when she first arrived that she physically touched Voldemort?”
“Yes. But that means then?”
“It does. Whatever powers he has, so does Nina. I would also be interested to know about their conversation in Parceltongue.”
“You and I both. Although I did not know what they were saying, I had the impression that it was not going in His favour. I believe that even then, she had the upper hand.”
“Indeed. Hopefully tomorrow, well later today, she can enlighten us.”
“Until later Headmaster.” Severus was truly exhausted now. He had let out all of his excitement and emotions get the better of him this night. Something he had never before in his life done and he was drained. “Goodnight.”
“Goodnight Severus.
Severus went back to his quarters. He could not think anymore. He sat on his bed, took off his shoes and simply lay on top of the covers fully dressed and went to sleep.
Back at Malfoy Mansion, Voldemort was in a rage. He refused to believe what had happened. “No one survived the killing curse.” He raged to himself. “No one. Well, except for that child of the Potters. The one that all the fools thought could kill him. Him, the most powerful wizard in the world. No wizard had the powers that he had. No wizard could defeat him. He was ALL powerful. And now this GIRL, this child had come from nowhere. And she had defied him. Openly. She had changed into a serpent and spoken to him in Parceltongue. The only reason that Potter could speak it was because of the link they shared with each other. And she had turned his own familiar against him. Nagini had left him on the command of THAT GIRL. She had countermanded everything he had done and said. Everything. Who was she? What was she. And Snape, that traitor. He had brought her here.” He called Malfoy, MacNair and the Lestrange’s to him. He gave them instructions to find out everything they could about this new girl that was staying at Hogwarts. Malfoy could have his son get close to her. Get friendly with her and find out what was going on. Maybe the boy could convince her to come over to the Dark side before that old fool Dumbledor got his grip on her completely. She seemed to have a thing for that traitor Snape. Perhaps he could make a deal with her. He gave orders to retrieve Nagini as well’ Sending them off, the Dark Lord calmed down. He did not tell them how the girl had blocked his curses. It would undermine his own authority, his own power, and he did not intend to let that happen. Soon all would be under his control again.
Back at Hogwarts the new school day had begun as normal for most. Snape was sitting down eating his breakfast and glaring at the students as they sat and chatted over their meals. No of them were of the events of last night. Why should they be.
The Headmaster was his usual cheery self as he watch the stunts. He was happy. Happier then he had been for a long time. He knew that the end of Voldemort’s reign of terror was drawing to a close. That their world was soon to be free. The young people in front of him would have a future. As would the generations to follow. He also knew that his Potions Master was in love. With a certain young lady who had somehow worked herself into his heart. He was glad for Severus. He knew that the dark man had suffered much for them all and had never left himself open to affairs of the heart. But it seemed that he had no control when it came to Miss Manohel. He wondered if she had realised that she felt the same way about Severus. He had briefly seen the looks on both of their faces last night just before he had fallen from his chair. The remembrance of that mishap temporarily took away the smile he had been wearing, from his face as he pinked up a little. Minerva glanced at him questioningly, wondering what on earth was going through his mind. Albus just smiled at her and continued with his breakfast.
Severus and Albus both noticed that when the post owls arrived, that Draco Malfoy’s large eagle owl was amongst them. They knew that it would be from Lucius. Just as they knew that it would concern Nina. Severus decided that he would need to keep a very close watch on Draco from now on.
Nina did not appear at breakfast or lunch. Kali had sent word that the young Miss was still sleeping. When she did wake, Kali fussed as usual. Making sure that she ate, and had a long soak in the bath and finding her something nice to wear. For the first time, Nina realised that she was not in the infirmary. “Kali, where are we?”
“We is in your rooms Miss.”
“M My rooms. I don’t have rooms.”
“You does now Miss.” Kali told her, smiling. Headmaster said you is needing yous own place and Kali is telling other elves how to make it nice for you.”
Nina’s mouth fell open as she looked at the little elf. She took in the bedroom. There were two deep red armchairs near the fireplace, a small light grey table set between them. On the wall at the side there was a desk and chair. She saw a wardrobe and a dressing table and the bed, all in the same light wood. The bed. She had never seen anything like it. She had never even slept in a proper bed until she came to Hogwarts. At Uncle Pete’s she the small box room at the end of the landing with an old mattress on the floor, a couple of blankets and a grubby pillow. When she wasn’t locked in the coal hole that was. Sleeping in the infirmary here had been like luxury to her. And now she had this room with a massive four poster. And it had curtains round it.. And it had proper sheets. There was a deep red duvet to match the curtains. She couldn’t help the tears that sprung to her eyes and rolled down her cheeks. “Kali/ You….you did this?”
“The elf’s ears flattened. “Miss does not like it. Kali is getting it changed right away Miss. I is doing better next time. I Is sorry Mistress.”
“Kali. Are you mad? I love it. Are you sure it’s mine? It’s the most beautiful room I have ever seen. Are you sure it’s mine. I mean…“ she swooped down and grabbed the little elf, spinning her around and around while she hugged her tight, whooping all the while. As she set the elf back down on the floor the poor creature was so dizzy from all the spinning that she was staggering around as if she had just drunk a whole bottle of fire whisky. Her eyes were spinning around and when Nina caught sight of her she broke into hysterics. When poor Kali finally fell to her bottom and sat there, lopsided hands on the floor beside her to steady herself while she tried to focus on Nina, Nina herself sat on the floor in front of her and took hold of the little elf’s hands. Kali immediately felt steady again. “Oh Kali. I am so sorry.” Her voice went shy. “I think I got a bit carried away. I have my own room. She said in wonderment.”
“Is alright Miss. I’s glad you like it. Thank you for stopping me from being spinny roundy. And you has a suite of rooms Miss. Not just this one.” Nina looked at her puzzled. “Come Miss.” Nina followed her and saw the bathroom that she had already used but not really taken much notice of. Kali opened the wardrobe and the drawers. They were full of clothing, for her, Nina. Then they went into the living area. Once again, Nina was overawed. Kali stood back a little. She did not want to have the spinny roundy again. As she took it all in, the kindness of these people, this little creature, she could not speak. She sat in one of the chairs near the fire and just stared. “Miss?” Kali asked her as she gently tugged at her sleeve. She was worried that the Miss was going to be like she was when the Snape had brought her back yesterday.
“Sorry Kali. It’s just all a bit much to take in at the moment. I’m fine. Honest.”
Kali relaxed.
“I want to go out side Kali. Get some fresh air. Err. Which way is out?”
“This way Miss. Kali will take you outside.”
“No! I mean, oh, please Kali, just point me in the right direction. I need a bit of time on my own. To think. You know.”
“Kali promised not to leave Miss on her own again. Miss might go disappearing again. Is not good to go off without Kali. Is not safe.” Kali stood with her arms folded and a determined look on her face.
“Kali I promise I’ll behave. I wont go running off. I just want to be on my own for a while, look around. Please.”
“Kali could not resist Nina’s plea any longer. “Kali will know if Miss does the disappearing again.”
“I wont Kali. I promise.”
“Very well.” The elf sighed. She showed her how to get to the main entrance. “You stays near the castle Miss. Don’ts go wandering off.”
I wont Kali. Thank you.” She gave the elf a kiss and went skipping down the steps and on to the lawns.
