Soulmates

Chapter Forty Eight

Harry’s P.O.V
By the time we had finally made it out of Gringotts, and made it out of the water and onto land, I began to panic as I found out that You-Know-Who knows what we’re doing, “he knows. You-Know-Who. He knows we broke into Gringotts. He knows what we took and he knows we’re hunting Horcruxes.” I said to Hermione and Ron, “how is it you know?” Hermione asked, “I saw him.” I answered her, “you let him in? Harry you can't do that” she told me as my panic continued as we stopped walking and, “Hermione, I can’t always help it. Well, maybe I can. I don’t know.” I told her, “nevermind. what happened”Ron asked as the three of us began to change into some dry clothes, “well, he’s angry. And scared too. He knows if we find and destroy all of the Horcruxes we’ll be able to kill him. I reckon he’ll stop at nothing to make sure we don’t kind the rest” I said to them before continuing, “there’s more. One of them is at Hogwarts.” I told them, “what? You saw it?” Hermione asked as I was putting on a shirt, “I saw the Castle and Rowena Ravenclaw. It must have something to do with her. We have to go there now” I said as Hermione continued to tell me otherwise, “we can’t do that. We’ve got to plan. We’ve got to figure it out” she said, “Hermione, when have any of our plans ever actually worked? We plan, we get there, and all hell breaks loose” I told her, “he’s right. One Problem, Snape’s Headmaster now. We can’t just walk through the front door” Ron mentioned, “um, well, we’ll go to Hogsmeade, to Honeydukes. Take the secret passage in the cellar. It’s- there’s something wrong with him. It’s like, you know, in the past, I’ve always been able to follow his thoughts. And now everything just feels disconnected.” I said to them, “maybe it’s just the Horcruxes, maybe he’s growing weaker. Maybe he’s dying” Ron said but I knew it was more than that, “No. No, it’s more like he’s wounded. If anything, he feels more dangerous.” I said to him and by the time we finished getting changed, we Apparated to Hogsmeade and by the time we had gotten there it was already dark and we heard the sound of cat screeching and the three of us ran to hide so no one would find us and when we were able to go, we took that chance and ran and mad sure we weren’t seen and when we made it to the gate in an alleyway, we heard someone open their door, “in here Potter” the man said and we did and I saw Genevieve.

Genevieve’s P.O.V
When the next day came around I had woken up forgetting that I was at Bill and Fluer’s until all of the memories of what happened came rushing back as I began to get out of bed and began to get changed for the day asI was putting on the same clothes as the day before and when I finally went downstairs to hear people talking and saw them all turned to face me and it took me a moment to notice Remus and when I did, I rushed up to him and jumped into his arms, “oh thank god you’re alright. I was so worried about you” he said into my ear before putting me down, “how are they. How the twins” I asked wondering as he smiled, “they’re fine, they don’t have a scratch on either of them” he answered and I let out a sigh of relief knowing my babies are alright, “where are they” I asked as I noticed that they weren’t with him, “they’re with your uncle” he said and I sighed again as I knew they were safe, “I’ve missed you” I said as I hugged him again, “I’ve missed you to darling” he said as he hugged me again, “I have to see Aunt Minerva” I said as I walked away before Remus grabbed my arm, “are you sure that you should” he asked and I nodded, “yes and if anyone asks, tell them that’s where I’ll be, I might even see Harry there if I can” I told him before giving him a kiss, “I’ll see you soon then and be carefull” he said and I smiled a little and nodded and Apparated to Hogsmeade.

By the time I did, I was making sure that I wouldn’t be seen until I felt someone grab my arm and drag me somewhere and saw that I was inside someone’s house and turned to see someone standing there, “I’m sorry I don’t mean to be rude but why did you drag me into your house” I asked wondering, “the name is Aberforth Dumbledore and I know why you’re coming through the Village” he said and I began to wonder if he was related, “I’m sorry for asking but are you related to Professor Dumbledore by any chance” I asked as he just stood there staring at me before filling his glass with something, “I’m sorry I didn’t mean to pry if it’s a touchy subject” I said to him, “no it’s alright and to answer your question, yes I am related to him. We were brother’s but we didn’t talk much after what had happened to our sister Ariana” he said and I felt bad for him, “I’m sorry” I said until we began to hear comotion from outside, “stay there” he said and went to look outside and when he came back, I seen Harry, Ron and Hermione come in and I rushed over to him and hugged him, “I’m glad that you’re alright” I said as I went to hug Ron and Hermione before Hermione began to look at a painting of a girl before looking at something else, “Harry, I can see you in this” She said and I looked to see what she was talking about, “yeah. Come here, there’s also a piece missing” I mentioned as we both looked back to see him holding up the broken mirror piece before he came over to us before hearing Aberforth speak up, “you bloody fools. What were you thinking coming here? I might understand why she had come back around. Have you any idea how dangerous it is?” he said to them,”you’re Aberforth, Dumbledore’s brother” Harry mentioned, “how did you know” I questioned, “someone from the wedding mentioned him. It’s you who I’ve been seeing here. You’re the one who sent Dobby” Harry said as the man walked over to the window, “where have you left him?” he asked and we just looked at each other before Harry spoke up, “He’s dead” he told him, “sorry to hear it. I liked that elf.” he said, “who gave you that to you? The Mirror?” Harry asked him, “Mundungus Fletcher, about a year ago.” He said, “Dung had no right selling that to you. It belonged to-” hHarry began to say until he was cut off, “Sirius. Albus told me. He also told me you’d likely be hacked off if you ever found out I had it but ask yourself, where would you be if I didn’t?” he said pretty much finishing the sentence for him.

Not long after he went into another room and soon came back with a tray of Butter Bear and something to eat and Ron and Hermione grabbed it and something to Eat and I just Grabbed the Butter Bear, “do you hear from the others much? From the Order?” Hermione asked as we took a drink, “the Order’s finished. You-Know-Who’s won. Anyone who says otherwise is kidding themselves.” he said, “you don’t know that for sure. There’s still a chance we can win this.” I said to him, “you are much like your Aunt young lady” he said, “I know, I get that a lot” I answered before Harry spoke up, “we need to get into Hogwarts, tonight. Dumbledore gave us a job to do.” Harry told Aberforth, “did he now? Nice Job? Easy?” he asked Harry as I grabbed something from the tray and ate it, “we’ve been hunting Horcruxes. We think the last one’s inside the Castle, but we’ll need your help getting in” Harry told him, “that’s not a job my Brother’s given you. It’s a suicide mission. Do yourself a favor, boy, go home. Live a little longer” he told Harry and I sighed to myself, “Dumbledore trusted me to see this through” Harry said, “what makes you think you can trust him? What makes you think you can believe anything my brother told you? In all the time you knew him, did he ever mention my name? Did he ever mention her’s” he asked Harry as Ron, Hermione and I continued to watch, “why should he” Harry questioned, “keeps secrets? You tell me” he said, cutting Harry off, “I trusted him.” Harry said, “that’s a boy’s answer. A boy who goes chasing Horcruxes on the word of a man who wouldn’t even tell him where to start, you’re lying. Not just to me that doesn’t matter. To yourself as well. That’s what a fool does. You don’t strike me as a fool Harry Potter. So I’ll ask you again. There must be a reason.” he said to Harry as he was becoming angry and irritated, “I’m ot interested in what happened between you and your brother. I don’t care that you’ve given up. I trusted the man I knew. And we need to get into the Castle tonight.” Harry said to Aberforth, “you know what to do” he said as he looked at the painting, “Bloody hell I think that was the smartest thing you’ve ever said” I spoke up after the girl in the painting had left and Hermione nudged me and I shrugged a little, “you and I both know that’s true” I whispered to her before Harry spoke up again, “where have you sent her” Harry asked, “you’ll see, soon enough” Aberforth answered before walking away and we walked up to the painting, “that’s your sister Ariana, isn’t it? She died very young, didn’t she?” Hermione asked, “my brother sacrificed many things Mr. Potter, on his journey to find power, including Ariana. And she was devoted to him. He gave her everything, but time.” he said and I began to feel bad for the man, “I’m sorry to hear the sir” I said, “thank you Mr. Dumbledore” Hermione said to him before going into another room, “he did save our lives twice. Kept an eye on us in that mirror” Hermione mentioned, “that doesn’t seem like someone who’s given up” she whispered to Harry, “she’s not wrong.” I whispered as well until we began to notice Ariana coming back and it looked like someone was with her, “she’s coming back.” Hermione said, “who’s that with her” Ron asked and I had noticed what he was talking about as I took a little closer, “it looks like Neville” I said before moving back as the painting began to open for it to reveal Neville.
