Finding Love in War
Chapter 10- Halloween
By Halloween, Hermione and Severus had succeeded. Not only had they completed a potion to protect someone against the Impervious and Cruciatious curses, but also against the Killing curse. The potion gave the effect of dying for a moment. The person hit by the curse would fall to the ground and only lose their breath for a moment, then he or she would be fine.
“Have you sent word to Albus about the potions?” Hermione asked as Severus joined her on the couch.
“I sent it this morning. What movie did you pick?” Severus answered as he sat the drinks and popcorn on the coffee table.
“The Exorcist,” she replied.
“My favorite horror film,” he said.
Hermione turned on the widescreen TV while Severus magically turned off the lights. With only the light from the fire and TV, Hermione began the movie.
************************************************************************
At Hogwarts, the Halloween Feast was well under way. Harry, Neville, and Ron were in especially good spirits. Earlier that day, Harry received a letter from Ginny. She was feeling a bit stronger. The medi witches and wizards said she could return to Hogwarts after Christmas holidays. She was currently at the Burrow recovering.
“I can’t wait to see Ginny on Christmas,” Harry smiled.
“Me either. Hey Neville, maybe you and your Gran can stop by over the holidays. I’ll write mum in the morning to see if it’s all right,” Ron said hopefully.
“I’ll write Gran tomorrow and ask,” Neville replied.
While the students were in the Great Hall, the ghosts were patrolling the castle and grounds. After the death of Minerva, the ghosts all banded together to protect everyone at Hogwarts. Peeves was especially protective, which was unusual for the poltergeist.
“You all right Peeve?” Sir Nicholas asked as he floated up to the poltergeist at the front doors of the castle.
“No. Something’s wrong. I can sense it,” Peeves answered.
“What do you sense?” Nicholas questioned.
“I sense trouble coming,” Peeves stated.
Out on the grounds, just outside the gates, Hadrian stood. He was waiting calmly. He had come to Hogwarts to finish what he started in Hogsmeade. To kill Ron Weasley and Neville Longbottom. Silently, he entered the grounds.
Hadrian moved in the shadows as he neared the front doors. He was quite surprised at how little security there was. No Aurors, no Order members, no one patrolling the grounds. He was five feet from the castle doors when the alarm began Hadrian looked right at Peeves who was floating in the doorway.
“HEADMASTER! HE’S HERE! HE’S HERE!”
Hadrian turned and ran for the gates, the sound of Peeves bellowing, echoing in the night. He reached the gates just as he heard the sounds of people running after him. Without looking back, he burst through the gates and apparated away.
“Damn! He got away,” Sirius growled as he, Phil, and Albus reached the gates and watched Hadrian vanish.
“We’ll get him soon enough Sirius,” Phil said.
“Let’s get back inside. The students need to return to their houses and we need to seal the castle,” Albus instructed.
************************************************************************
After the castle was sealed and the students safely in their houses, Peeves floated into an empty classroom. It was time he finally told what he knew about the attack on Ginny Weasley.
“Uh, Eligh,” Peeves called out.
“Who are you?” Eligh demanded as he appeared before the poltergeist.
“Your Master is Severus Snape right?” Peeves asked.
“Yes,” Eligh answered.
“I need to see him. I know who attacked the Weasley girl,” Peeves stated.
Eligh didn’t need to hear anymore. With the snap of his fingers, the house elf and poltergeist disappeared from the classroom.
************************************************************************
“What movie next?” Hermione asked as she refilled the popcorn bowl.
“How about ‘The Shining’?” Severus replied.
“Perfect. I haven’t seen that one in a while,” she smiled.
They turned just as Eligh and Peeves appeared. “Peeves? What are you doing here?” Severus asked.
“He says he knows who attacked your friend Ginny Weasley,” Eligh answered.
Peeves quickly told them what he saw that night. He had been floating in the corridor when he saw Draco, Blaise, Crabbe, Goyle, Millicent, and Pansy walk up and hide in the shadows. They had cast spells to hide their faces and alter their voices. A few minutes later, Ginny and Neville came walking up and the attack began.
“Why didn’t you come foreword sooner?” Hermione demanded.
“Because Dumbledore was waiting. Waiting to see if one of them slipped up and said something,” Peeves said sadly.
“Thank you for telling us. Eligh, take Peeves back. Once you return Peeves, immediately tell Albus what you told us. He will no doubt bring Minister Welles to talk to you,” Severus instructed.
Peeves nodded. A second later, the poltergeist and the elf disappeared. Hermione and Severus took their snacks and returned to the sitting room.
“Do you think Minister Welles will believe Peeves?” Hermione asked as Severus started the movie.
“Yes. David Welles is a lot more open minded than most,” Severus answered.
During the middle of Hermione’s sixth year, Cornelius Fudge had been killed by Lucius Malfoy. Fudge had discovered a list of all the Death Eaters that had infiltrated the Ministry. Kingsley Shacklebolt had witnessed the murder from the shadows.
Without the list or proof that Lucius had done it, it was Kingsley’s word versus Lucius’. David Welles was elected. David would listen to Peeves and Albus, as well as go over Neville’s pensieve that was taken the night of the attack.
David also was the one who granted Sirius a full pardon. Shortly after the death of Fudge, Aurors caught a Death Eater, who under Veritaserum, stated that Peter Pettigrew was alive and had betrayed the Potters. Sirius was now teaching Minerva’s classes at Hogwarts.
