Chapter 23: Rescue

Previously:

The sound of Harry's screams enter my ears and I can't help but feel sorry for him. It was only because of Goyle's dad that I got dragged into this. He and dad were best friends and they did everything together. But dad quit being a Death Eater to keep mum and I safe. When Goyle and his dad came to our house one day, they humiliated dad. They asked us if we were still in the Death Eater cause but they answered their own question saying that we definitely were because dad was one of Voldemort's most trusted followers. Dad had turned red and said that he was still a Death Eater so we moved back to the headquarters (my old house) and dad joined the Death Eaters again. Mum and Dad had a lot of fights about this and I was really worried.

Suddenly Dad burst into my room and ordered "Go to Potter's room! Stay there and keep watch. DO. NOT. LEAVE." I nodded solemnly and made my way to the room Harry was held in. I stayed there watching him sleep for half an hour before a loud 'BANG' was heard from outside. I ran to the window and peered down. Aurors were here along with the Weasleys and Granger. I wanted to go out but I followed my fathers orders. I decided I didn't want to be a Death Eater. What was the point? All they want is to rule the Wizarding World as well as the Muggle World. I had swapped sides.

Unknown's P.O.V
The Death Eaters were under attack. I had originally come to see how Harry was doing but then the fighting started. I hid under the invisibility cloak stunning anyone close to me. They had a plan and I saw Ron, Hermione and Ginny sneak into the manor. I followed them to keep them safe and watched from afar. Death Eaters waiting on the inside attacked but they stunned them quite easily. Dolohov tried to sneak up from behind them but I petrified him making the three turn around. Suddenly the door opened and Death Eaters came rushing in from outside. Hermione, Ron and Ginny ran frantically, Ginny accidentally bumping into me making the invisibility cloak slip off my shoulders. I cursed under my breath and ran down a deserted hallway, dragging her with me. "S-Snape" she gasped. I pressed a finger to my mouth telling her to be quiet. "Harry's on the second floor. 10th door to your right." Ginny nodded and opened her mouth to say something but I shook my head. Whatever she had to say could be said after.

Following Snape's orders I ran upstairs to the second floor. Yaxley and Lucius followed me. I turned to my right and printed down the hallway counting the doors and I passed. When I found the 10th door I raced in and locked the door behind me. I looked around the room. Harry lay on the floor bloody and broken. Malloy sat in the corner watching. "Is he alive?" I asked Malloy. "Barely" came his short reply. I walked over to Harry bewildered as why Mafoy didn't stun me right there. "Aren't you going to stop me?" I questioned. "I don't want to be a Death Eayer anymore" Malloy replied. The door rattled behind me. "OPEN THE DOOR!" Yaxley yelled. Lucius cursed Yaxley before he whispered Alohomora. Malfoy raced across the room pinning his back against the wall to stop them from coming in. "Do. Something. Quick" he said between pants. I moved my attention back to Harry thinking what I could do to save him. I placed a hand on his chest feeling his heartbeat. It was pumping slowly and softly. If I don't save him in a few minutes he'll be dead. 'But what am I supposed to do' I thought to myself. A Phoenix patronus flew into the room and Dumbledore's voice boomed "Use the power that beats everything, even death itself." I retraced my memories realising what Dumbledore meant. Love conquers death. I kneeled beside Harry and took his face in my hands. Malfoy grunted from the door straining. When my lips touched Harry's Malfpy couldn't hold the door any longer so he yelled "PROTEGO!" at us shielding us from the Death Eaters. They tried to get through the charm but the love between Harry and I somehow made the shield stronger. At that moment Hermione and Ron burst in through the door both stunning Yaxley and Lucius. Malfoy stayed there just staring. When I pulled away from the kiss, Harry's eyes opened. "G-Gin?" He asked before his eyes closed and he fell into a peaceful slumber.

Chapter 24: 6th Year

After Harry's rescue he was sent to St Mungos and is still there healing. James, Sirius, Ginny and I visited him every day. Harry told us about the Death Eaters, what they wanted and who they wanted. Kingsley also came in and asked for information so he could track down the remaining Death Eaters. Draco talked with Harry and they ended on good terms but Ron and Ginny both disagreed with him. Harry reasoned with them in the end and they both grumbled "fine." Hermione told us that there was a mystery person who accompanied us on defeating the Death Eaters but Ginny wouldn't say who. We begged her but she wouldn't give in saying that it wasn't here secret to tell. We questioned Harry about his 6th year and he told us we could watch the memories without him. So we took his memories to the Burrow. And here we are now standing around the pensieve. Ginny stayed with Harry at St Mungos and Professor McGonagall (A/N Dumbledore took over the role of Headmaster of Hogwarts. Soz didn't include that) joined us with watching the memories. We poured in Harry's memories and dunked our heads into his thoughts.

Harry Potter was snoring loudly. He had been sitting in a chair beside his bedroom window for the best part of four hours, staring out at the darkening street, and had finally fallen asleep with one side of his face pressed against the cold win-dowpane, his glasses askew and his mouth wide open. The room was strewn with various possessions and a good smattering of rubbish. Owl feathers, apple cores, and sweet wrappers littered the floor, and a mess of newspapers sat in a puddle of light on his desk. The headline of one blared: HARRY POTTER: THE CHOSEN ONE? Rumors continue to fly about the mysterious recent disturbance at the Ministry of Magic, during which He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named was sighted once more.

James squeezed my hand tightly as I remembered what happened the last time we watched his memories. Sirius had died, killed by his own cousin.

A second newspaper lay beside the first. This one bore the headline: SCRIMGEOUR SUCCEEDS FUDGE

Sirius and James whooped and yelled "YOU SUCK FUDGE!" and "NO MORE DUMBRIDGE!" Fred and George cracked out laughing, Ron joining in. "Boys" I muttered to myself. I noticed a letter in Harry's hand and I was super eager to see what it said.

Dear Harry,
If it is convenient to you, I shall call at number four, Privet Drive this coming Friday at eleven p.m. to escort you to the Burrow, where you have been invited to spend the remainder of your school holidays. If you are agreeable, I should also be glad of your assistance in a matter to which I hope to attend on the way to the Burrow. I shall explain this more fully when I see you.
Kindly send your answer by return of this owl. Hoping to see you this Friday, 
I am yours most sincerely,
Albus Dumbledore

I knew Harry was happy about leaving the Dursleys and I felt sorry he had to grow up with such a horrible childhood. I sighed and shook the thoughts from my head. I watched as Dumbledore arrived on the Dursleys doorstep bewildering them. James laughed at their expression of disbelief. The discussion between Dumbledore, Harry and the Dursleys was uncomfortable but humorous at the same time. When Harry went to Slughorn's house, James groaned "Not old Sluggy! Why can't Dumbledore find a better Potions teacher!" Sirius nodded his head and I smacked them both on the shoulder. "You shouldn't be disrespectful to a teacher! There IS a teacher here with us you know!!" James and Sirius shut up and gave Professor McGonagall their both most innocent smiles. Professor McGonagall rolled her eyes and whispered under her breath "The same boys I knew when they were 11."

Harry, Ron, and Hermione momentarily had an unimpeded view out of the window. Draco Malfoy was hurrying up the street alone. As he passed Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, he glanced over his shoulder. Seconds later, he moved beyond the scope of the window and they lost sight of him. "Wonder where his mummy is?" said Harry, frowning.

James rolled on the floor laughing.

"Given her the slip by the looks of it," said Ron. "Why, though?" said Hermione. Harry said nothing; he was thinking too hard. Narcissa Malfoy would not have let her precious son out of her sight willingly; Malfoy must have made a real effort to free himself from her clutches. "Get under here, quick," said Harry, pulling his Invisibility Cloak out of his bag. "Oh--I don't know, Harry," said Hermione, looking uncertainly toward Mrs. Weasley.

"Don't go... please" I almost begged. I had a feeling something bad was going to happen. Mrs Weasley however shot Ron a glare.

"Come on," said Ron. She hesitated for a second longer, then ducked under the cloak with Harry and Ron.

I groaned. As the trio followed Draco I whispered a prayer hoping they would be safe. When they nearly got I almost panicked and when they were safe I let out a breath of relief. When Harry received his OWL results I was really happy for him. Well except for his History of Magic and Divination  result.

HARRY JAMES POTTER HAS ACHIEVED:
Astronomy ~ A Care of Magical Creatures ~ E Charms ~ E Defence Against the Dark Arts ~ O Divination ~ P Herbology ~ E History of Magic ~ D Potions ~ E Transfiguration ~ E

On the Hogwarts Express when Harry went to check on Malfoy I sighed knowing that it wasn't going to end well. I was grateful that Luna helped fix his broken nose but despised Severus's attitude towards him when he picked Harry up. I admit that Severus was being harsh in them in class and when Harry stood up to him...

'Do you remember me telling you we are practising non-verbal spells, Potter?' 'Yes,' said Harry stiffly. 'Yes sir.' 'There's no need to call me "sir", Professor.' The words had escaped him before he knew what he was saying.

James whooped and yelled "Yes Harry!" and Sirius started clapping and cheering. Ron laughed remembering the memory. As we moved on and Harry found the Half-Blood Prince's Book I was curious who it belonged to. I agreed with Harry that it definitely wasn't a girl's handwriting but a boy's. The writing triggered something in my brain as I recognised it a little bit but not who it belonged to. 

This Book is the Property of the Half-Blood Prince

We watched as Harry received lessons from Dumbledore and learnt so much more about Lord Voldemort. He was a Half-Blood, grew up in an orphanage and most surprising of all he made horcruxes. When Dumbledore told Harry it was his job to find the horcruxes and destroy them I immediately disagreed fearing my son's safety. Harry and Ginny got together that year and I was happy to see Harry have someone who puts him as a first not second (hem hem, Cho) I thought they were a wonderful couple but Ron and Lavender just does not work. When it was time that Harry joined Dumbledore in getting a horcrux I was really scared. I held my breath and gripped James tight when Harry got dragged into the water by Inferi.

It was the best he could do, for the icy feeling on his arm not holding the cup was not the lingering chill of the water. A slimy white hand had gripped his wrist, and the creature to whom it belonged was pulling him, slowly, backwards across the rock. The surface of the lake was no longer mirror-smooth; it was churning, and everywhere Harry looked, white heads and hands were emerging from the dark water, men and women and children with sunken, sightless eyes were moving towards the rock: an army of the dead rising from the black water.

But Dumbledore saved him and I was very grateful for that. When the Dark Mark was on top of the Astronomy Tower I was worried something had happened while they were away. As they made their way to the Tower I realized it was a trap. Dumbledore did too and made Harry hide.

Malfoy stepped forwards, glancing around quickly to check that he and Dumbledore were alone. His eyes fell upon the second broom. 'Who else is here?' 'A question I might ask you. Or are you acting alone?' Harry saw Malfoy's pale eyes shift back to Dumbledore in the greenish glare of the Mark. 'No,' he said. 'I've got back-up. There are Death Eaters here in your school tonight.' 'Well, well,' said Dumbledore, as though Malfoy was showing him an ambitious homework project. 'Very good indeed. You found a way to let them in, did you?'

I groaned knowing something bad was about to happen and i mentally pleaded Malfoy not to kill Dumbledore. He was their only savior. The only one who could match Lord Voldemort. As more Death Eaters arrived I lost hope. Malfoy was under a lot of pressure and was probably going to be forced to kill Dumbledore. But then Severus showed up.

'Draco, do it, or stand aside so one of us –' screeched the woman, but at that precise moment the door to the ramparts burst open once more and there stood Snape, his wand clutched in his hand as his black eyes swept the scene, from Dumbledore slumped against the wall, to the four Death Eaters, including the enraged werewolf, and Malfoy. But somebody else had spoken Snape's name, quite softly. 'Severus ...' The sound frightened Harry beyond anything he had experienced all evening. For the first time, Dumbledore was pleading. Snape said nothing, but walked forwards and pushed Malfoy roughly out of the way. The three Death Eaters fell back without a word. Even the werewolf seemed cowed.

I waited for something to happen. Why was Severus there? Everyone around me was silent, especially Ron and Hermione.

'Severus ... please ...'
Snape raised his wand and pointed it directly at Dumbledore. 'Avada Kedavra!'
A jet of green light shot from the end of Snape's wand and hit Dumbledore squarely in the chest.

"NO!" I screamed and James wrapped his arms around me. I said nothing and just sobbed into his chest. This was the worst thing that could happen. I watched as Harry races after Severus wanting revenge. And when Snake announced he was the Half-Blood Prince it reminded me that he was a Half-Blood. I realised the Horcrux was a fake and I felt so bad that Dumbledore died for a fake Horcrux. But at least it gave Harry some clues.

To the Dark Lord
I know I will be dead long before you read this but I want you to know that it was I who discovered your secret. I have stolen the real Horcrux and intend to destroy it as soon as I can. I face death in the hope that when you meet your match, you will be mortal once more.
R.A.B.

I tried thinking of people who had those initials but couldn't think of any. Sirius seemed suspicious of something but said nothing about it. When Dumbledore's Funeral came and Harry and Ginny broke up, I knew Harry did it for the best but I was sad they weren't together anymore. As the memories ended we exited the pensive we all stood there in silence. Then we all left the room quietly.

Merry Christmas! That's the end of the Christmas Special! Really hope you enjoyed it. I won't be posting for the rest of this week but next week I will definitely be uploading again. Shout Outs:
