Family Heirlooms (Edited/complete)

CHAPTER NINE


Hermione jumped when Harry apparated into her room. “Harry!” She said and got to her feet when she saw that he’d been crying. “What happened? Where is Persephone?” Harry shook his head. “I don’t know…..McGonagall took her somewhere. I don’t know where.” Hermione frowned. “Why doesn’t she just apparate back to Hogwarts then?” Harry shrugged. “McGonagall isn’t stupid. She probably put some sort of anti apparition spell on her to keep her where she is. Damn her.” He said quietly. Hermione sighed and ran her hand through his hair. “Oh Harry I’m so sorry.” Harry suddenly stood. “I’m leaving. I’m going to find her.” Hermione stood up to catch his arm. “How are you going to find her? McGonagall took her only God knows where…..WAIT!” Hermione said with a snap of her fingers. She ran to her trunk at the end of the bed and took out a small box. “It just occurred to me where McGonagall might have stored her for the moment just until she can put her somewhere else. She’s either being held at the house Sirius left to you or at Godric’s Hollow. Her first thought was that you wouldn’t think to look there because it’s too obvious. She didn’t count on the fact that I would think of it though.” She said with a smug grin. Harry leaned forward and took her face in his hands to kiss her. “I love you Hermione.”
She grinned at him. “I love you too. I’m coming with you by the way.” Harry frowned. “I think that you should stay here. I don’t want to take the chance of something happening to you.” She grabbed his hand and wouldn’t let go. “Either take me with you or I’ll follow you anyway.” She said with her eyes narrowed darkly. He sighed and she handed him the box. “Let’s go.” She said. He nodded and with a pop they were gone.

Persephone kicked the dresser beside her bed in frustration. It wasn’t fair! She thought as she felt hot salty tears run down her face. She looked around for the first time at the old room and wondered where she was at. She walked to the door and checked the knob surprised to find that it wasn’t locked or didn’t have some sort of enchantment on it so she couldn’t leave the room. She walked down the stairs and a sense of nausea began to build up inside her. She felt death all around and wondered again where she was. She walked through the house and then went back up the stairs to check out the other rooms. She opened the door to one of the upstairs room and a lightning bolt of pain shot through her hand and up her arm. She fell to her knees on the floor and breathed hard as the pain threatened to consume her whole.

“HARRY! What’s wrong? What’s happening?” Hermione said in fear as she crouched beside Harry outside 12 Grimmauld Place. Harry held both hands to his head, trying to stop the pain going through his scar, down his arm to his hand. “I….don’t know…..Persephone she’s in pain. I know it. Give me the ring.” He said. Hermione reached into her robe and brought out the ring box. She placed the ring onto Harry’s finger and gasped when he went limp in her arms. “Harry?” he asked. Harry could hear her but at a great distance. In his mind he saw Persephone on the floor beside a door but he couldn’t tell where she was. Only that she was in pain. Persephone! His mind screamed at her. Her head lifted and she looked around while clutching her hand to her chest. “Harry?” She asked. In that instant all of his memories and her memories filled each other. In that one moment they learned everything about each other. He felt himself going down the stairs and out the front door. He saw that he was at Godric’s Hollow. He felt a cold breeze blow by him and saw none other than Severus Snape walking towards the door. “NO!” Harry yelled and tried to grab Snape but couldn’t touch him……

Hermione yelled when Harry’s hand suddenly came up and grabbed her by the throat. “Harry……it’s me…….Hermione…” When she realized that he couldn’t hear her and thought she was someone else she grabbed her wand and pointed it at him. “Immobulous!!!” Harry’s hand froze and she pried his fingers from around her neck. She got up and caught her breath before turning back to him and muttering the counter jinx to free him. His eyes jerked open and he sat up. “Snape…at the Hollow…..Seph…” Hermione pulled him to his feet. He groaned and touched his head lightly. “Come on. Let’s go.” She said. She took his hand and stopped. “Harry? Where is your mother’s ring?” Harry looked down at his hand and he knew where it had gone. “Come on. I know where it’s at.”

Snape smiled smugly as he opened the front door to the house. He paused at the bottom of the stairs and looked up to see black hair cascading over the top step. “Well well well….what do we have here?” he said as he started up the stairs. He’d come back at Voldemort’s request to see who was walking around at Godric’s Hollow. Snape had hoped that it would be Harry Potter but nothing could have prepared him to see Harry Potter’s missing twin sister lying on the floor trying to catch her breath. He knelt down beside her and couldn’t help but admire her beauty she’d gotten from Lily. Her eyes began to open and he just look down at her. “What are you doing here?” he asked. He didn’t expect her to recognize him so he was stunned when her eyes narrowed and her fist came up to punch him in his rather large nose. He fell backwards and down the stairs. He looked up to see Persephone standing a few feet away with her wand pointed at him.

“Very funny girl. Do you honestly think that you can do anything to ME with that wand? Come on then, give me your best shot.” Before she could react he pulled his wand and called out, “Expelliamus!!!” Her wand was knocked out of her hand and slid across the floor. “Now then, what are you doing here?” Persephone stared at him before taking a few steps forward. “This is where they died isn’t it? This was our parent’s house where old VoldeMUNCH killed them.” Snape nodded. “It is not wise to make fun of Lord Voldemort my dear.” Persephone glared at him. “I’d SPIT on the son of a bitch if he were here and not think twice about it. Since you’re his lackey I guess you’ll do.” She said and promptly spit in his face. He reached out and grabbed her by the arm to shake her. “Why you little…..AHHHH!” He yelled as her knee came up and jabbed him sharply between the legs. Her foot came up and kicked his wand out of his hand. Her hands became curled like claws and she dove at him, knocking him to the floor and clawing at his face.

Snape felt the skin on his face burn and bleed as her sharp nails cut at him. He managed to grab her wrists and rolled her so that he was on top and was able to grab his wand. “Now you are coming with me to meet Lord Voldemort. “Just let me grab my wand so that I can KILL the asshole!!!!!!!” She yelled as she struggled against him. “STOP RIGHT THERE SNAPE OR SO HELP ME I’LL KILL YOU!!” Snape froze then slowly turned to face a furious Harry who stood in the doorway. Hermione stood to his side with her wand drawn. “Let go of my sister Snape.” Harry said. Persephone jerked her arm free of Snape and bent to retrieve her wand. She ran to the other side of Harry and grinned. “Good timing Harry. Thanks by the way.” She said and held out her hand to let him see that she wore the ring.

Snape glared at Harry with a hatred that seared all three of them. “Fine then I will take all three of you to see Lord Voldemort!!!” He waved his wand high in the air and green light swirled all around them. Hermione gripped Harry’s hand tight as blackness engulfed them…..
