So before we did anything with the PolyJuice potion the four of us monitored the Ministry for the right time to strike and that I had to say took a month because of everything that was going on. Tonks is on the wanted list for interrogation so we had to be careful and everything and Muggleborns were getting interrogated as well I don't know what happens to them if they fail and it always made a shiver go down my spine when I think about it but in the newspaper made me livid. Snape was now the headmaster of Hogwarts and how could they place him there. Deatheaters too have been outside of Grimmauld place so we had to be extra cautious in that we do and today I have finally decided to infiltrate the Ministry today.
Charlie was on watch out for the people that we needed and he nodded to me and I went into the other two and nodded. I got to the side door and I shot a spell at her and she collapsed in my arms and I dragged her with me and then we got the other two that we needed while Tonks used her metamorphagus powers to transform her appearance while we did this she got off very lucky.
"Right, remember what we said. Don't speak to anyone unless absolutely necessary. Just try and act normal. Do what everybody else is doing. If we do that, then with a bit of luck, we'll get inside. And then--" I said and thought while the three people were snoring loudly.
"It gets really tricky." Bill told us and I had to agree with that one.
"Correct." I told him.
"This is completely mental." Tonks said looking at herself and she cringed.
"Completely." I said with a grimace.
"The worlds mental." Charlie told us and I have to say he is right about that one it is. "Come on, we've got a Horcrux to find." He told us and we all drank the potion and changed and I had to say I look disgusted. I sighed and we looked at each other and took their clothes off and put them on ourselves and then walked out of the building unnoticed. I took my bag off Charlie and Bill didn't like the way he looked in his black trench coat and I didn't like the skirt or the way she was dressed with high heels. We then walked off to the bathrooms and they went into the boys side while me and Tonks went into the ladies.
"This is disgusting." Tonks whispered and I looked at her and nodded and we both went into a stall and when I did I looked around but nothing to get there and then I looked to the toilet. You have got to be joking me right? Oh this is definitely irony that's doing this to me please don't let anyone talk to me about this experience again.
Tonks looked over the stall at her. "We flush ourselves in. That's bloody disgusting." Tonks said and pouted and got to her business I stepped on the loo and I didn't want to do this. I stepped in and then there was a knock on the door and I pulled the flusher and I span and ended out of the floo fireplace. Never again.
I looked and walked with the crowed and the guards were asking for names and I panicked here. Tonks was next to me thank goodness but we kept an emotionless face as possible so we don't get suspicion on to us.
"You. Come." The guards said to the man.
"What? What?" He said to them confused and I'm confused on what they are doing to everyone and they dragged him away. I stopped at the pillar and I saw Muggles and they were turned to stone and Tonks I knew was full of emotion because of it. Then I think Bill came next to us.
"Are those--" Bill asked not thinking that they were them they couldn't be actually...
"Muggles." Tonks said to him.
"Supposed to be in their rightful places." I said to him and I was so going to kill Voldemort.
"I've gotta tell you, I'm starting to freak out a bit." Charlie told us coming next to Bill and he wasn't the only one starting to freak out with what is happening here.
"How long did you say this batch of PolyJuice would last, Amy?" Bill asked looking at her and I looked to him.
"I didn't but we better get a move on only Tonks will be safe." I said and they nodded and we walked to the elevators together.
"Cattermole." Yaxley said and he was one of the Deatheaters that tortured us when younger and now I was nervous. He looked to Charlie oh my goodness. "It's still raining inside my office and it's been two days now." He told us and I would find that amusing if we weren't wanted at the Ministry.
"Have you tried an umbrella?" Charlie asked and I knew he should keep his mouth shut with that.
"You do realise I'm going down stairs, Cattermole?" He said and I wondered what that had to do with anything and Tonks wondered that too. I knew she was a Lupin now but I remained calling her Tonks with everyone else because I can't call her Lupin as a nickname.
"Downstairs?" Charlie asked wondered what he needed to do.
"To interrogate your wife. Now, if my wife's blood statues were in doubt and the head of the department of magical law enforcement needed a job doing, I think I might just make that a priority. You have one hour." He said and I gritted my teeth and Tonks had to control her hair because her hair would have turned red and would have hexed him.
He then left and the gate shut and Charlie looked in horror. We held on as it went along and he looked panicked. "Oh, my god. What am I going to do? My wife's all alone downstairs." He told us and we looked to him as if seriously he just said that.
"Charlie, you don't have a wide." I said to him.
"Oh, right." He said in realisation and the speaker came on with a female voice saying level two.
"But how do I stop it raining again?" Charlie asked us and I thought about that one.
"Try "Finite Incantatem." This is you Charlie." Tonks said to him and I nodded at him.
"Finite Incantatem. Okay. And if that doesn't work..?" Charlie then asked us turning to us. We couldn't say because we were off again and I was worried about him.
Then we jerked to a stop. "Minister of Magic and Support Staff." The voice said over the speaker. If we don't locate Umbitch within and hour we go find Charlie and come back another day. Deal?" Bill said to us and we looked to him.
"Yes." Me and Tonks said and when the door opened Umbridge was there with a clip board and memories of the cruciatus came to mind for the both of us.
"Ah, Mafalda and Sarah. Travers sent you both, did he?" She asked me and Tonks and I didn't know what to say to her. "Good, we'll go straight down." She told us stepping in and it took all my will power to not hex her one. "Albert, aren't you getting out?" Umbridge asked Bill. He went and it left us two with the toad or my god and we exchanged secretive looks of worry with her. We then set off.
Bill got off and walked around and saw Mudbloods on articles and he didn't like it one bit. Then he looked to see Dolores Umbridges office and he secretly smiled inward this should get him the locket hopefully. He then saw the eye on the door and he knew it was Moody's and he was so glad Amy wasn't here or she would of lost it and he knew that all too well. He then saw head of the Muggleborns Registration Commission. He knew this was easy to get in so he dropped some products and they replicated to go everywhere and when they did it set off green smoke and people screamed and he grinned and went into the office.
Bill looked around and he didn't know where to start. "Accio Locket." He said but nothing and he gritted his teeth he should have known you couldn't summon the Horcrux and he hoped that Amy, Tonks and Charlie were having better luck than he was but Amy and Tonks were in a hearing with Umbridge while a Muggleborn Cattermole got questioned with Dementors above them and Amy wanted to kill Umbridge.
Bill looked and saw shoes and her tea cup and searched the drawers but nothing and then he saw files and he looked at them to see his dad with a cross across his picture and he gulped and saw the information about him. He then went to Moody and saw him with the same as well and Tonks too. She was high risk too and he glared. He then came across Sirius Black and Albus Dumbledore also with a cross on him.
"All right, all right. Let's calm down, shall we?" A man said outside and Bill knew he needed to get out of here. "Let's get back to work, please. Calm down." The man said as he came out of the office.
"Runcorn." The man said to Bill and Bill was furious. He though walked away from them and into the elevator where his brother joined him and he sighed he hoped Amy and Tonks was alright.
"Morning." Charlie said to the man hoping that he didn't get caught.
"Bro, it's me." Bill said to his brother and Charlie sighed in relief at his brother being here with him.
"Amy. Blimey, forgot what you looked like." Charlie said to his brother. "Where's Amy and Tonks?" Charlie asked not seeing them.
"They've gone down to the court rooms, with Umbitch." Bill said and Charlie paled at that.
"It's Bloody cold down here." Charlie said to that.
"I'm a half blood. My farther was a wizard." A man said as he was dragged by the guards. "William Alderton. He worked here for 30 years. Perhaps you know him. Always wore his jacket inside out. No, there's been a mistake I'm a half blood, you see. We must go back. I'm half blood." He said and Charlie wanted to go after him but Bill grabbed his brother and turned him around they couldn't do anything.
I was sat in the stands watching the poor woman sitting there with Dementors above us and I really wanted to help them but I was feeling nauseous at the moment.
I was quiet when I saw Bill and Charlie enter and I nudged Tonks softly and she looked to me in the corner of her eye and I motioned her with my eyes to Bill and Charlie and she relaxed a bit.
"Mary Elizabeth Cattermole?" Umbridge questioned and I gritted my teeth.
"Yes." The woman said to her who was sitting in the seat.
"Of 27 Chislehurst Gardens, Great Tolling, Evesham?" Umbridge said to her again and I wanted this to be over the PolyJuice will be wearing off soon and she was wearing the bloody locket wasn't she.
"Yes." She answered to that one.
"It's here." Bill said to Charlie as he saw the locket.
"Mother to Maisie, Ellie and Alfred? Wife to Reginald?" Umbridge said to that. I then saw the woman looking at Charlie and I groaned inwardly this had to happen didn't it.
"Reg?" She said to Charlie and Bill pushed his brother forward and Yaxley was here so I was very stiff right now.
"Thank you, Albert." Umbridge said to Bill. "Mary Elizabeth Cattermole?" She asked and Charlie was behind her.
"Yes." She said to Umbridge. Tonks gripped my hand and I tried to reassure her with a reassuring squeeze.
"A wand was taken from you upon your arrival at the Ministry today Ms Cattermole. Is this that wand" Umbridge said holding up a wand and the woman nodded. "Please tell the court from which witch or wizard you took this wand?"
"I didn't take it. I got it in Diagon Alley, at Ollivanders, when I was 11. It chose me." She explained and that was right but I already knew Umbridges answer without even her saying it.
"You're lying. Wands only choose witches, and you are not a witch." She said and I stood up carefully and I saw Bill as well walking closely as well I need that damn locket.
"But I am." She said to Umbridge. Tell them Reg. Tell them what I am." She said to Charlie and I was ready to dive on Umbridge for that locket. "Reg, tell them what I am." She told him and I got closer to Umbridge and I could hear the locket whirring and chittering. I drew my wand and she looked to me.
"What on earth are you doing, Mafalda?" She asked me and I looked to her and Tonks got her wand out.
"You're lying, Dolores. And one mustn't tell lies." I said and my face was transforming back and she looked to me. "Stupefy!" I shouted and hit her hard and Charlie took Yaxley and Tonks grabbed the locket and Bill attacked as well. Then the barrier for the Dementors were coming down and we transformed back except Charlie.
"It's Amy Moody." The woman Ms Cattermole said in awe.
"Amz what do we do now?" Tonks asked.
"Run like the Devils are on our asses! Run!"I said and shouted and we bolted it out of the courtroom.
"It isn't it? This'll be one to tell the kids." Charlie told her and I think he was lost to us again with him thinking he had a wife. Dementors chased us and we got in the elevator and moved and they tried to suck our souls.
"Expecto Patronum!" Me, Tonks, Charlie and Bill said to that and our Patronus's came out which was a Phoenix, Wolf, Tiger and a Dragon. We then stopped and got out of the elevator and we walked out with our heads down and Charlie had trouble with Mary.
"Mary, go home. Get the kids. I'll meet you there. We have to get out of the country, do you understand?" Charlie told her and that's actually good advice for that one. "Mary, do as I say." He said to her. She then kissed him and our threes jaws dropped in shock at what she did and then her husband came in and Charlie was himself again.
"Mary? Who's that?" He asked his wife and I slapped my forehead no time for this.
"Longs story. Nice meeting you." Charlie said knowing he didn't have time for this.
"It's Amy Mcgonagall Moody." A man said recognising me and I groaned at this we need to run now.
"It's Amy. Amy Mcgonagall Moody." A man said and we ran like hell. Then men came after us okay this is ridiculous at that.
"There she is!"
"Get her!" Men shouted
"Get her!"
"Stop her!" The men shouted as we ran and I was panicking at the best with this and I flipped over people and pushed them as spells were shot at us and I flicked papers everywhere for a diversion and Yaxley came after us sending spells and we had to duck and they shut off the floo gating and we got in but so did Yaxley and this was horrible and so we apperated out of there the only thing was, there is a risk to get splinched.
When we landed we were in the woods and I groaned at that and heard birds squawking and I looked and sat up groaning from the aches and pain from the bad landing. Then I saw the locket away from me and I grabbed it but then saw Charlie splinched.
"Oh my god." Charlie moaned in the pain.
"Shh, shh, shh. It's alright. It's okay." Tonks reassured him but even she was uncertain and she had a healing mastery. "Amy, quickly in the bag." Tonks told me and I nodded and grabbed the bag and searched for dittany.
"Quickly, Amz." Bill said to her and tried to calm his brother down and I groaned in frustration.
"Accio Dittany." I summoned into my hand and went to Charlie. I opened it and Tonks took it from me and I sat by Charlie's head and made sure he was fine. "Focus on me and Bill, Charlie. Everything's going to be fine." I reassured him.
"Okay, it's gonna sting a little bit." Tonks said because his arm had been splinched and that was painful.
"What happened? I thought we meant..." Bill said to us and I didn't know myself. "To be going back to Grimmauld Place."
"We were. We were. Shh Charlie." I said to him and shushed Charlie who was groaning and whimpering in pain.
"It's all right. One more, one more." Tonks said to Charlie. "We were there, we were there but Yaxley had hold of me, and I knew once he'd seen where we were, we couldn't stay so I brought us here but Charlie got splinched. It's all right." Tonks explained and said to Charlie whos arm is healing and I knew she was right to do so and I hope that we don't get found.
I then got up and started making the area safe for us to stay here. "Protego Totalum. Salvio Hexia." I incanted.
"What are you doing?" Bill asked her.
"Protective enchantments, Bill. We need to because you know there are snatchers somewhere and I'd rather be protected than anything." Tonks said to him because she would rather keep hers and Remus's baby safe.
"Also I don't fancy another visit like the one we had in Shaftesbury Avenue, do you?" I said to him and he knew I was right about that one. "You Bill, can get going on the tent." I ordered and Tonks got up and helped me with the enchantments.
"Tent?" Bill asked on what she said they didn't pack like that did they? They knew what they would need at least at that one ore they would be royally screwed.
"Protego Totalum." Tonks said and I looked to Bill at that one.
"Where am I supposed to find a tent?" Bill asked and then he looked to me to see me looking at him and he looked to the bag.
"Repello Muggletum. Muffiliato." Tonks continued she knew he would figure it out.
"You have got to be kidding me!" Bill said and heard Amy laugh and that was the first laugh he has heard since Albus died. He was pleased now. He got on with the tent while we got the protection charms up and then we helped sort the tent out and when we did I was just too exhausted all of a sudden and Tonks was knocked out on the bed and I followed pursuit and Charlie was out and Bill smiled at his friends and brother and he went to sleep because they had to figure out how to destroy that Horcrux.
.......
The next day early afternoon we placed the Horcrux on a log and we got prepared to see if we can destroy this thing once and for all.
"You first." Charlie said to me and I sighed and pointed my wand at the locket.
"Dissendium!" I shouted and it hit the locket and smoke came and we looked to see the locket intact and I gritted my teeth at that.
"Incendio!" Tonks said and it bursted into flames but nothing the chittering continues.
"Expulso!" Bill said and send the locket flying. We looked and nothing how are we supposed to destroy it! Damn Albus!
"Diffindo!" I shouted in anger and it didn't do anything. "Reducto!" I shouted and nothing. It's getting me frustrated and so I just shot spell after spell at it and I gritted my teeth and I was panting and Charlie looked at the locket. I then placed it on me.
"What are you doing?" Tonks asked me and I looked to her.
"We have to keep it safe, until we find out how to destroy the damn thing." I said to her calmly.
"Seems strange, Amz. Dumbledore sends you off to find all these Horcrouxes but he doesn't tell you how to destroy them. Doesn't that bother you a bit?" Charlie said to her.
I sighed and walked off to clear my mind and I don't go too far but to clear my head. My angers getting worst and I've felt nauseous what was wrong with me and some of the time I'm sick. I have cravings but Tonks does and I don't know what's wrong. The only time I had this was with Harry but that's impossible. I then walked to the tent and looked at the mirror piece Sirius gave to me to try and see Albus's eyes and I looked at the picture I just didn't know what to do.
"A goblin named Gornuk was killed. It is believed that Muggleborn Luke Thomas and a second goblin both believed to have been travelling with Tonks, Cresswell and Gornuk, may have escaped. If Luke is listening or anyone has any knowledge of his whereabouts his parents, brother and sisters are desperate for news. Meanwhile, a Muggle family of five has been found dead in their home." A man said on the radio.
"You know the spell Amy." Voldemorts voice said and I gasped and sent into images.
"Tell me." Voldemort said and then it changed. "Tell me, Gregorovitch." Voldemort said to a wizard.
"It was stollen from me." Gregorovitch said to Voldemort.
"Who was he? The thief?" Voldemort asked him as Gregorovitch coward.
Then it showed us a building with a boy on the window. Grindlewald. "It was a boy, it was he who took it. I never saw it again. I swear on my life." He said to Voldemort.
"I believe you." Voldemort said with a smile. Gregorovitch whimpered. "Avada Kadavra!" Voldemort said and I saw images and then I was back to reality. Bloody hell. Tonks saw this and walked over to her friend.
"I thought it had stopped. You can't keep letting him in, Amy." Tonks told her and sat down looking at her friend who was a sister in concern.
"You know who has found Gregorovitch." I said and I knew what I had to do.
"The wand maker?" Tonks said to her knowing about his wands.
"He wants something that Gregorovitch used to have but I don't know what but I saw a wand but it felt more powerful than anything." I explained to her. "But he wants it desperately. I mean, it's as if his life depends on it." I told her and then I heard the radio and I wanted to turn it off because if I heard any Weasley's or even Harry on there I'll breakdown.
"Don't. It comforts Charlie." Tonks said and Bill came and sat down with us. He didn't want to hear it either because he won't be able to take it.
"It sets my teeth on edge. What's he expecting to hear? Good news. I've sent Molly and the kids into somewhere where it had wards and protections in with houselves and not even the most powerful wand can break them down so they are safe as long as they stay on the grounds." I told her and Bill knew that.
"I know what you mean Amz but he would like to know who had been killed especially with dad gone as well. Umbridge has marked a cross on the pictures of who's dead and had your dads magical eye for the security eye on her door." Bill said and Amy looked down at that.
"Who long expected it, the fall of the ministry was shocking." The radio said.
"I think he hopes he doesn't hear bad news." Tonks told her and I got up.
"We promise to remain eyes and ears..." The radio continued.
"How long before he can travel?" I asked her wanting to get on the move to find more Horcrux's I am getting on edge just staying in one spot for too long and not doing anything were sitting ducks out here with only the enchantments.
"Brining you news when we can, from wherever we can." The radio said and Tonks with Bill exchanged looks.
"I'm doing everything that I can." Tonks said to her but knew Amy's anger is getting the better of her and she had suspicions on why that was with everything else but she couldn't be...could she?
"You're not doing enough!" I shouted finally losing it. I then started walking.
"Take it off." Bill said to her and she stopped he knew what was doing this and so did Tonks. "I said, take it off now." Bill ordered her. I looked at him and got the locket and put it over my head and handed him it.
"Better?" Tonks asked with a grin.
"Loads." I said and sighed so that thing has been making my temper go up.
"We'll take it in turns okay but Tonks your not wearing it at all we don't want anything to happen to the child that is growing inside of you or else Remus would kill us." Bill said and Tonks was about to protest but we glared and she sighed in defeat.
When night fell we took watched and Tonks was the night watch tonight and I sighed and got up and went to her. I think it might be getting colder here and Autumn was definitely here so I reckon September maybe Octorber or November but I have seriously lost count and the day that we are on so I'm just not going to bother anymore.
I was asleep dreaming of Albus but I heard the radio. "Finch does admit his invention currently has one short. And now other news. Severus Snape, newly appointed headmaster of Hogwarts has decreed all students must conform to the latest house rules." It said and I got the marauders map out not knowing Tonks has wondered off. "Hogwarts bears little resemblance to the school under Dumbledores leadership or High Governess Amy Mcgonagall Moody's Leadership." The radio said and I watched Severus Snape's movements and I wanted to know what he does but couldn't except movement. "Snape's curriculum is severe, reflecting the wishes of the Dark Lord and infractions are dealt with harshly by the two Death Eaters on staff.
Tonks though saw the snatchers carrying someone. "What's that?" A man asked and Tonks held her breath. He then walked to her. "What's that smell?" He asked and Tonks stayed positively still scared stiff as the enchantments made her invisible.
"What are you doing?" The man asked to the other who dropped the body.
"It's heavy." The other man said.
"Oh, sorry. Do you want me to carry it?" Scabior said to the man.
"Yeah, I do." The man replied to him.
"Don't be ridiculous. Pick it up." Scabior said to him and the men did as he said. "Numpty."
I saw this and walked to Tonks side. "Snatcher. Good to know our enchantments work." I told her and now I wanted to move so desperately.
"He could smell it. My perfume." She told me and we walked back to the tent. "I told you Charlie isn't strong enough to apperate." Tonks told her.
"Then we'll go on foot." I replied to that. And next time Tonks, as much as I like your perfume, just don't wear any." I told her because I don't want a replay of that scenario. Charlie watched them as Bill was in the tent wondering how Fleur was.
"And now names of the missing witches and wizards." The radio said.
When we got back we got everything packed up to go travelling and Charlie had the radio and I could tell it annoyed Bill to no ends and it did with me listening to see if my mother was dead or not. Voldemort could ask her for information which she wouldn't have.
"These are confirmed. Thankfully, the list is short today. Jason and Alison Denbright." It listed and Bill have me and Tonks some water and we took a drink.
"Thank you." We said to him we needed that with the walking.
"Bella, Jake, Charlie, and Madge Farely." It listed and I was getting on my wits end with it all. "Joe Lorie. Eleanor Sarah Gibbs." It said and we spotted Deatheaters and we ran for cover in the barn but Charlie still played the radio. "Harry and Bronwyn Triggs. Rob and Ellie Dowson." It said and we travelled more listing the people as we went and we came across caravan homes. "Georgia Clark-Day. Joshua Flexson. George Coutas. Gabrielle and Emily Mather." It continued through out the day as we got to sunset and it was cloudy we came to a bridge. "Jacob and Mimi Erland. William and Brian Gallagher."
I went walking off while those three stay together I needed to clear my head on what I'm doing next.
"She doesn't know what she's doing, does she?" Charlie asked his brother and Tonks.
"None of us do." Bill answered he knew this wouldn't be easy at all because he knew Voldemort wouldn't hide those things to be found in a few short days like a treasure hunt for kids this could take months and maybe even years in fact.
I looked back to them and then to the horizon. "Toby and Olivia Gleaves."
When it got to night I went to bed with the others at that and it was still playing. "Katie and James Killick. Elsie Valentine Schroeder."
I got to sleep and dreamed about my family together but I knew it wasn't reality which I wished it was and then we got up early and travelled listening to the radio none stop and it was giving me a head ache listening too it all the time.
"Jennifer Witson. Tamsin and Lola Hillicker. Scarlet and Kitty Sharp."
Today though Tonks insisted on me having my hair cut and I sighed she was getting bigger and I have to say I'm getting fatter. "Oh my, God." Tonks said and that put me confused.
"What?" I asked wondering if she did a mistake.
"I'll tell you in a minute." She told me and I felt my head and Bill chuckled and tuck the scissors and he continued for me and I smiled.
"Maybe you could tell us now?" Bill said focusing on cutting Amy's hair he had his done thankfully or he would look like a girl.
"The Sword of Gryffindor its goblin made." She told us and I looked to her.
"I could have told you that Tonks but why are you on about the sword due to we don't have it and it's missing?" I asked wondering what she had in that mind of hers.
"No, you don't understand. Dirt and rust have no effect on the blade. It only takes in that which makes it stronger." Tonks explained and slid the book for them to look and they did.
"Okay." Bill said he was confused at the moment with this.
"Amy, you've already destroyed one Horcrux, right?" She said and I thought back.
"You mean Tom's Diary in the Chamber of Secrets with Esmerelda." I said to her on that one and we don't have a fang on us.
"If you tell me you've got that basilisk in that bloody beady bag of yours..."Bill said and I laughed at that one.
"Don't you see? In the Chamber of Secrets, Amy put the diary on Esmereldas fangs and she bit it but also she carried the sword of Gryffindor in her mouth biting on it. Correct?" Tonks explained and it clicked.
"The venom. It's blade is impregnated with the Basilisk Venom." I said to that and she smiled.
"It only takes in that which makes it stronger." Bill added getting it now and we sat down with smiles.
"Exactly which is why--" Tonks said but we cut her off.
"It can destroy Horcruxes." Me and Bill finished with grins we were getting somewhere finally!
"That's why Albus left it to you in his will." Tonks told her smiling.
"You are brilliant, Tonks. Truly." I told her I wouldn't have thought of it at all but she did thank goodness for that.
"Actually, I'm highly logical when want to be with being clumsy which allowed me to look past extraneous detail and with our masteries as well I have learned a few things since our travels and so that perceive cleverly that which people overlook." Tonks told them.
"Yeah, there's only one problem, of course." Bill said to the two and they looked to him. Then the lights went out and that was kind of scary but we saw Charlie he's messing with the Deluminator again.
"The sword was stolen." Charlie said listening into the threes conversation and he put the lights back on. "Yeah, I'm still here." He told them. "But you three carry on. Don't let me spoil the fun." He told us and he's getting on my nerves.
"What's wrong?" I asked him and Bill looked at his brother.
"Wrong? Nothing's wrong. Not according to you, anyway." Charlie told me what is his problem.
"Look, if you've got something to say Charlie, don't be shy. Spit it out." Bill said to his brother getting annoyed with him.
"Alright, I'll spit it out. But don't expect me to be grateful just because there's another damn thing we've gotta find." He said and Bill narrowed his eyes at his brother.
"I thought you knew what you signed up for Charlie." I said to him because even Bill and Tonks knew this wouldn't be a few days think it could be years or months but we are determined to end this war.
"Yeah. I thought I did too." Charlie told us and I got up.
"Well then Charlie, we're sorry but we don't quite understand what your trying to say to us." Bill said to his brother.
I then walked down and looked to him. "What part of this isn't living up to your expectations? Did you think we were gonna be staying in a five star hotel? Finding a Horcrux every other day? Thought you'd be back with you mum by Christmas?" I said in frustration I hated this as well but it needs to be done because I have mum, Remus and Harry to get home to alive and I have my god kids as well.
"I just thought, after all this time we would've achieved something. I thought you knew what you were doing." Charlie mouthed at me and Tonks with Bill exchanged looks to each other. "I thought Dumbledore told you something worthwhile. I thought you had a plan."
"I told you everything Albus told me. And incase you haven't noticed we found a Horcrux already." I told him and Bill was concerned Amy is getting angrier and Charlie is.
"Yeah, and were as close to getting rid of it as we are finding the rest of them." Charlie retorted back to me.
Bill went to his brother. "Charlie. Please, take..." Bill said trying to get the locket off of him so he doesn't say anything else irrational. "Please take the Horcrux off. You wouldn't be saying this if you haven't been wearing it all day." Bill said to his brother.
"Do you know why I listen to that radio? To make sure I don't hear Ginny's name, or Fred, or George or Mom." Charlie said and that's nearly crossing the line with me because I have been listening and I don't want to hear my mums, Harrys or Remus's with any of my godchildren.
"What you don't think I'm not listening? You think I don't know how it feels?!" I shouted at him in frustration.
"No, you don't know how it feels! Your farther is dead! Your husband is dead and your mum could be dead and Harry we don't know if he's dead! You have no family!" He shouted at me and that stabbed me in the heart. I dived at him and started hitting him and he hit me.
"Stop. Stop!" Tonks shouted at them.
"Fine, then go!" I shouted at him with anger rising for what he had just said to me. "Go, then!" I shouted to him breathing heavily.
"Fine." Charlie said and took off the locket and he grabbed his bag.
"Charlie." Bill said to his brother he did step over the line but he could be killed on his own.
"And you?" Charlie asked Bill and Tonks and they knew they couldn't leave Amy with how she is right now. "Are you coming or are you staying?" He asked and they looked to Amy. "Fine I get it. I saw you Bill and Amy one night." He said and Bill went wide eyed in shock.
"Charlie that's--that's nothing." Bill said to his brother Amy was his younger sister too him.
"Charlie your angry and we get it but you have to calm down." Tonks said but Charlie walked out and we exchanged looks on that one. Bill ran out for his brother wanting him to come back and Tonks looked to Amy and saw that look. Then I heard the whoosh he was gone now and I sighed at that. After that night with just the three of us I woke up and saw Tonks still sleeping and I went out to see Bill.
I then walked to him and we had to move on.
"Let's go we have spent enough time here. Charlie isn't coming back here." Bill said and I nodded at that and the three of us got to packing and we apperated to another location but not before leaving something behind for Charlie to figure out. We landed on some rocks and I cracked my neck at that. Tonks was crying her hormones are acting up and mood swings.
"Salvio Hexia. Repellum Muggletum. Salvio Hexia." I kept saying with Bill warding up the area and I think it's November time and it was near to Bills twentieth birthday but we don't know when but he doesn't care about it right now he wants this war over and then they can celebrate that.
I was on guard with Bill and we heard the radio going and we exchanged looks and looked to the tent. I miss Charlie and I miss mum with Charlie and Remus but most importantly Albus, dad and Sirius. Why did they have to die? Why couldn't they have stayed with me but I did promise Albus that I would carry on without him and I intend to keep that promise.
"Poor old Jims white as a ghost. He's found the answer that we lost were all weeping now Weeping now because There ain't nothing we can do to protect you o children lift up your voice lift up your voice." We listened and then Bill came to me and held out his hand and I took it and Tonks smiled and we danced and we grabbed Tonks into the dance and we three danced and we just reminisce into the song. "Children Rejoice, rejoiced Hey little train, were jumping on The train that goes to the kingdom we're happy, Ma We're having fun And the train ain't even left the station Hey little train, wait for me I once was blind but now I see Have you left a seat for me? Is that such a stretch of the imagination? Hey, little train, wait for me I was held in chains but now I'm free I'm hanging in there don't you see? In this process of elimination Hey, little train, were jumping on The train that goes to the kingdom.." It sang and we were twirling each other and smiling and having fun. It was at least making us happy with each other instead of a gloomy environment that we was once in. It went on and we held each other close rocking each other and then we walked off from each other to go to bed.
In the coming weeks I saw Voldemort again and again wanting to catch the boy who stole the wand and we have been getting updates from Phineaus Nigellus. At the moment thought I was on the bed in thought but I watched my snitch go and I remember when I caught this I fell off my broom and nearly swallowed it I thought Albus was going to have a heart attack from that stunt as well as Sirius and Remus. Then that thought hit me about flesh memories and I put it in my mouth and writing came up to it.
"I open at the close." I read and I wondered what that meant. "Bill! Tonks!" I shouted and I went to them to show them this clue.
"Bill you were right! Snitches have flesh memories but I didn't catch the first ever snitch I caught with my hand, I almost swallowed it when I fell of my broom." I said making my way to them and I passed it to Bill to look at and Tonks leaned over to look at it.
"I open at the close." Tonks read not understanding what it meant.
"What do you think it means with I open at the close?" I asked them as I looked at them.
"I don't know. I found something as well." Bill told us and got his book and I was waiting to hear this. "At first I thought it was an eye but now I don't think it is. It isn't a runs, and it isn't anywhere in Spellmans Syllabary. Someone inked it in. It isn't part of the book. Somebody drew it." Bill said and I looked and Tonks knew what it was.
"The Deathly Hallows." Tonks said to that and we looked to her. "Never heard the story of the three brothers?" Tonks asked and they shook their heads.
"I might have done with that cloak and wand and stone but not that much. I saw Stacey and Luna's dad however wearing that at yours and Remus's wedding." I said to that and Bill looked to me.
"But why did someone draw it in a children's book and if it was Dumbledore it must be something we need to learn about." Bill said and asked and then said to us. If this was Albus's doing I don't know what he wants us to do with it.
"Look, Bill, I've been thinking. I want to go to Godric's Hollow. It's where I have lived when I was taken by the Potters. It's where Tom came and used the killing curse on me." I said and they looked to me.
"That's why exactly why hell expect you to go because it means something to you Amy." Tonks said to her not wanting to lose her friend because of that place.
"Yeah, but it means something to him too, Tonks. You-Know-Who almost died there. I mean, isn't that exactly the type of place he'd be likely to hide a Horcrux?" I said to her and I wanted to go.
"It's dangerous, Amy." Bill said to her because there is always that massive risk to go some there like that. "But even recently I have to admit, I've been thinking we'll have to go there. I think it is possible something else is hidden there." Bill explained as we made our way to the tent.
"What?" Tonks asked him wondering what else could be there instead of a Horcrux.
"The sword." Bill admitted and it did make sense for it to be hidden because who would likely to go there and look for it?
"Also Amz, if your husband wanted you to find it, but didn't sent it in the Ministry's hands where better to hide it than the birthplace of the founder of Gryffindor?" Tonks said to us and I nodded and she looked at my hair and tried to move it.
"Don't ever let me give you a haircut again." She said and it started to snow it was near December or in December which means Bill could be twenty and Charlie could be 18 by now and I feel sad that I'm missing my son that much and I'm wondering if he was safe and missing me.
After a few more days of packing everything up we looked at the place and then held arms and apperated to Godrics Hollow where it all began and where Albus lived and I didn't like this place at all bus James and Lily had asked for my forgiveness and I close enough give it nearly. There was snow on the ground and it looked deserted.
"I still think we should have used PolyJuice potion." Bill said to me and Tonks nodded in agreement something was off and we could all feel it but I was raised here even if it wasn't my birth home.
"No. This is where I was raised. I'm not returning as someone else." I said to that and the bells tolled and we looked. Tonks, Bill and I linked arms as we walked and a man was heard.
"Goodnight, Ha-ha-ha." The man said.
"Amz, I think it's Christmas Eve. Bill your twenty and Charlie would be 18 now. "Listen." She said and we heard the chore. Then we looked to see the graveyard.
"Do you think they'll be in there Tonks?" I asked wondering if the Potters would be in there. "The Potters and maybe Ariana?" I said and asked and she looked to me with Bill.
"Yeah, I think they would." Bill replied to that one. We then made our way around and I have found Ariana and Kendra with Percival Dumbledore and I sighed they were Albus's parents and sister so I used a spell to put flowers on there. Then I saw Tonks wiping off some snow from a grave and I looked.
"Ignotus Peverells. Isn't that one of your heads of families Amy?" Tonks asked and looked to Amy and she nodded at that one.
"Yeah it is. I have all three brothers together." I said to her and she nodded at that. Then I walked to see James and Lily Potter and I sighed and I am hurt with everyone dying who cared for me. I know where dad was now and I found that out from the radio luckily. Albus was buried at Hogwarts. Bill kneeled down and put a reif on there and I smiled at that.
"Merry Christmas Bill and Tonks." I said to that and they hugged me close and I let a tear slip. A very merry Christmas to me. I have never missed a Christmas with my son and I love him.
"Merry Christmas Amy and Bill." Tonks said to us.
"Merry Christmas Amy and Tonks." Bill said and hugged the two closer to him they were siblings through and through. Tonks then looked to the side to see a woman watching and that was freaky to her.
"Amz, Bill were being watched by the church." Tonks whispered to them and they looked to see the person as well.
"I think I know who that is." I said Bathilda Bagshot.
"I don't like this, Amy." Bill said with narrowed eyes there's something wrong but he couldn't place it.
"Bill, Tonks she knows Albus. She might have the sword. You never know." I told them and they looked at me.
We followed her carefully as it was and I was very nervous something wasn't right but I don't know what that was but I'll be on guard with what ever it is. We came across a house that was wrecked and it was James and Lily's. The house that I was at when I duelled Voldemort and lived. The grass was over grown.
"This is where they died Bill and Tonks. This is where he murdered them. This is where the story of my scar began." I said to that and looked in the memories of that awful might and we turned to see the woman with grey hair looking at us.
"You're Bathilda Bagshot. Aren't you?" Bill said to the woman knowing about her from Muriel on about it about that book on Dumbledore. Then we walked to her home where she tried to light the candle.
"Here let me do that." I said taking the matches but her hands were cold as ice. She just kept staring at me and freaking me out and then Bill and Tonks lit up a photo frame of the man from my dreams.
"Ms Bagshot who is that man?" I asked her.
She got the candle and went up stairs and I went to follow her. "Amy." Tonks whispered to her wondering what the hell she is doing.
"Lumos." I said and followed her up the stairs but something was telling me to turn back.
Bill and Tonks were looking down stairs wondering who this woman was and looking for answers before they get into trouble themselves. Them they heard insects and saw the book on Dumbledore.
I followed her into a room and she looked to me and chitters came from the locket. She then spoke in Pastletongue and now I'm very, very on edge.
I spoke to her back on that one. She spoke and I went and she watched me.
Bill and Tonks went to where insects buzzed and they wondered why there was so many insects. They went and looked to see something that they weren't expecting.
I looked through a book not seeing what was happening to Bagshot behind me until I saw it in the mirror. She turned into a snake and it was not other than Nagini. Oh the irony where is Albus when you need him?
I got a chair to defend myself but I was panicking. Tonks and Bill went further through the door and they looked up.
"Amy!" Bill and Tonks shouted to their friend and sister.
The snake attacked and I stopped it with my chair but that snake was powerful and I grunted from it as well from the force it hit me at. Tonks and Bill tripped trying to get to her and Tonks got up and ran as fast as she could for a pregnant woman.
The snake attacked and it sent me through to another room and I grunted at that attack. It was a child's room a nursery no less and I chucked anything at the snake for defence. It attacked and I fell and got wrapped in its coils and I hit it over and over again trying to disgruntle it with little use. I then hit it with a brick making my way to get out and I made it back to the other room for me and I tried to get away and Bill and Tonks sent spells but they dived out of the way when it did no effect. It fell down the floor boards and I looked cautiously. Tonks grabbed my wand as we hid for cover and I grabbed my arm due to the attack. We got up and looked when it attacked.
"Confringo!" I shouted at that using my Wandless magic and then Bill grabbed the both of us and we apperated it out of that house through the window. When we landed we came to a field with a lake and it was covered in snow and we set up. Never again am I doing that and risking our lives.
I was asleep and I was cold without the warmth and I looked to see Tonks and Bill not in and so I go out to see them reading and I wondered what. My arm was healed thanks to Tonks and I made my way over to them.
"Are you feeling better?" Tonks asked me and I looked to her with a smile.
"You've outdone yourself this time Tonks." I said and looked around wondering where we are because I couldn't stay awake after we set everything up and they talked and they must of healed my injuries.
"The Forest of Dean." Bill said looking around the place it was a nice place to be.
"I came here when I was just a little girl before all the bad and came with my mum and dad. It's how I remember it. The trees, the river, everything. Like nothing's changed. Not true, of course. Everything's changed. If I brought my parents back here, they probably wouldn't recognise any of it since before we left I put a charm on them so if my aunt Bellatrix or any of my mothers side comes then she wouldn't be able to give them information. They wouldn't recognise the trees, not the river and not even me. They know Harry I made them know about him but they wouldn't know me." Tonks said to that and she had to do it for her mothers safety. "Maybe we should just stay here Amy and Bill. Grow old. You wanted to know who the boy in the photograph was. I know. Gellert Grindlewald." She said and passed me the book which I took and looked over.
"He's the thief from Gregorovitch wand shop. Speaking of which, where's my wand?" I said and asked looking at Tonks and she with Bill exchanged looks of worry and then to me. What happened to it? "What happened to it?" I asked them.
"Um I cased a curse and it rebounded when we were leaving Godrics hollow. I'm sorry." Bill said to me and I sighed at that I couldn't blame them for it.
"I tried to mend it but wands are different." Tonks told me and I looked at the pieces.
"It's done. Leave me one of yours and you go inside and get warm." I told them and I sighed at that. "I'll take the locket as well." I said to them and they got up and Bill passed me his and I took it.
When they did I sat out there looking out until it got to darkness and I didn't know someone was watching me with a sad face.
"Trust me." I heard Albus's voice from that day and I looked into the mirror and I chucked it down and I looked to the picture and Albus smiled sadly at me.
"Albus, why did you have to leave me?" I said and he sighed.
"Because it was my time tabby, but I'll always be here to talk too even though we can't play chess." He said and chuckled at that.
"But I need you. I can't do this alone." I said and he smiled sadly and a tear came down my cheek.
"Don't cry tabby, your strong and you still have tabby even though we're not there for you does not me we have left your heart or not watching over you." Albus said to her and blew her a kiss and I smiled and I kissed his frame and he smiled and went somewhere probably to watch over Hogwarts.
It was cold and then I saw a blue/white light and I wondered what the heck that was and I got Bills wand and I stood up cautiously. It turned into a doe and I walked towards it carefully. I ran then due to it getting far away and then it went into the lake. "Lumos." I said and carefully walked on the ice so I don't go through it. I looked with my wand to see....Gryffindors sword! I wiped the snow away and one problem how do I get it without freezing to death? "Accio sword." I said and nothing. "Diffindo." I said and the ice broke big enough to go in and I was absolutely crazy. I sighed and stripped to my nickers and bra. This is embarrassing. I then walked over the ice and looked in and I carefully sat down and it was freezing. I then went into the water and the water was cold and it started prickling my skin. I swam to the sword and I was going to pick it up when the locket tried to strangle me and I couldn't breathe and I tried to get it off of me. I tried to get out but nothing I was going to die. Then someone jumped in and grabbed the sword and then me and I was panting like crazy and I looked to see the one person I thought I would never see and it was Charlie. Thank goodness he saved me.
"Charlie." I said to him and sighed.
"Are you mental, Amz!" Charlie said he was absolutely livid that his sister did that and jumped into the cold water and nearly drowned.
"Bloody hell Charlie. Thank you." I said and got my clothes on and he looked to me.
"Yeah I know but Amz, doing that was crazy." Charlie told her and smiled slightly.
"And you cast the doe as well did you?" I asked and he looked very confused on that one.
"No, I thought that was you." Charlie said to her he saw the doe too and it led him to here.
"No my Patronus is a Phoenix like Albus's." I told him and he nodded and we wondered who was that then.
I then got the locket and placed it down. "Go on Charlie. You do it." I said and he looked to me like I was absolutely mental.
"I can't handle it. That thing affects me more than it affects you, Bill and Tonks." Charlie said to her.
"All the more reason." I said to him and he sighed.
"No. I can't." He said and I was determined for him to do it no matter what he said.
"Then why are you here? Why did you come back?" I questioned if he didn't want to destroy Horcruxes then he shouldn't have came back at all.
"Now, I'll have to speak to it in order for it to open. When it does, don't hesitate." I told him strictly. "I don't know what's in there but it will put up a fight." I told him and I didn't know what it could actually be. "That bit of Riddle in that diary tried to kill me."
"All right." Charlie said he was determined to get through this.
"One, two, three." I counted down and he raised the sword. Then I spoke for it to open in Pastletongue.
It then opened and snarls with roaring. It emitted black smoke and it spoke. "I have seen your heart and it is mine." It spoke and it was effecting me for some reason. "I have seen your dreams, Charlie Weasley and I have seen your fears. Least loved by your mother, who craved a daughter. Least loved by the girl who prefers your bother."
"Charlie, kill it!" I yelled at it seeing it and it showed Bill and Ashley.
"We were better without you." Bill said. "Happier without you."
"Who could look at you compared to Bill Weasley your eldest brother?" Ashely said to him. "What are you compared to the prefect and the eldest?"
"Charlie, it's lying!" I shouted out.
"Mother confessed that I was the better son." Bill said.
"What woman would want you?" Ashely asked to him. "You are nothing. Nothing. Nothing compared to him." She said and then it showed Ashley and Bill kissing and I have to say not nice. Charlie was in rage and he ran and whacked the Horcrux and I sighed at that and panted from it.
I went to Charlie and sat down panting. "Just think only three to go." He said and I looked at him and groaned this is going to cause havoc.
We then walked back to the tent. "Bill! Tonks!" I shouted to the two of them knowing they were asleep but I have to wake them to show them Charlie or else they would murder me.
Tonks and Bill came out of the tent and they looked to me. "Is everything all right?" Tonks asked in concern at her sister.
"It's fine. Actually, it's more than fine." I said to her and she looked to me with Bill who out a jumper on.
"Hey!" Charlie said cheerfully and I knew this would be a fight pregnant woman and Bill against Charlie who would win? I don't want to find out.
Tonks marched up to him and grabbed his bag and Bill came up with narrowed eyes. "You complete ass, Charles Weasley!" Tonks shouted whacking him with the bag and Bill have him a headslap.
Tonks the pushed him and chucked leaves at him. "You show up here after weeks and all you say is "hey"?" She said to him and Bill was laughing quietly with me because this was funny to watch. "Where's my wand Bill and Amy?" She said and we went wide eyed and started backing away from her she's scary.
"I don't know." I said and Bill shook his head agreeing with me.
"Amy Mcgonagall Moody Dumbledore and William Weasley give me my wand!" She demanded us using full names and that's bad.
"We don't know." We said to her and ran around the tree from her.
"How come they've got you wand?" Charlie asked us and that was a long story.
"Never mind why they have my wand." She said to him and I was glad that we did or Charlie wouldn't be here or he would be in a world of pain. "What is that?" Tonks asked and Bill looked as well and they walked forth.
"You destroyed it." Bill said to his brother at least ones down.
"And how is that you happen to have the sword of Gryffindor?" Tonks asked looking between me and Charlie and we both exchanged looks on that one.
"It's a long story." I told her on that one.
"Don't think this changes anything." Tonks said to him and walked off.
"Oh, of course not. I only just destroyed a bloody Horcrux. Why would that change anything? Look, I wanted to come back as soon as I left. I just didn't know how to find you." Charlie told her and we turned to him.
"How did you find us?" Bill asked curiously.
"With this." He said and brought out the deluminator. Albus you are a genius. "It doesn't just turn off lights. I don't know how it works, but Christmas morning I was sleeping in this little pub keeping away from some snatchers and I heard it."
"It?" I asked at that how can that thing talk?
"Voices. Your voices you three coming out of it." He said and we looked to him.
"And what exactly did we say?" Tonks asked about that with her arms cross he wasn't off the hook yet.
"My name. Just my name. Like a whisper. So I took it and clocked it and this tiny ball of light appeared. And I knew. And sure enough, it floated towards me, the ball of light went right into my chest, straight through me. Right here." Charlie said and pointed to his chest. I knew it would take me where I needed to go and so I disapperated and I came to this hill side. It was dark and I had no idea where I was. I just hoped one of you would show yourself. And you did." He said and we smiled and looked at each other and spent the day talking until the day passed quickly. We have heard about Ted dying and Tonks was heartbroken about it and I was as well but no news on my mum and Harry.
At the moment me and Charlie was sat together by the candle that Tonks made.
"I've always liked these flames Tonks makes." Charlie told me and I nodded. "How long do you reckon they'll stay mad at me?" He asked me and I looked to Bill and Tonks who were on watch.
"Well, just keep talking about that little ball of light touching your heart and they'll come round." I told him and he gave out a breathy laugh.
"It's true. Every word of it. This is gonna sound crazy but I think that's why Dumbledore left it to me, the Deluminator. I think he knew that somehow I'd need it to find my way back, and you'd three lead me. Bloody hell, I just realised that you need a wand, dont you? You can't keep using Wandless in battles and duels." He said to me and I looked to him.
"Yeah." I told him because Wandless takes more focus and energy up.
"Well I've got one here. It's a black thorn. Ten inches." He told me and I felt it. It might not be mine but it's durable for now at least. "Nothing special, but I'll reckon it will do. Took it off a snatcher a couple of weeks ago. Don't tell Bill or Tonks this but they're a bit dim, snatchers. This one was definitely part troll, and the smell of him." He said and I pointed my wand at the flame.
"Engorgio!" I said and the flames bursted upwards. "Reducto!" I shouted and it went down.
'What's going on in there?" Tonks said to us and we looked at each other and chuckled.
"Nothing!" Me and Charlie said to them.
"We need to talk." Tonks said to us and we looked to her. What does she mean?
"Yeah, all right." Charlie said wanting to get into his sisters good books again.
"I want to go see Xenophilius Lovegood." She told us and us three went wide eyed.
"Sorry?" I asked about that because why does she want to see him for?
"See this?" She said and I looked at the book. "It's a letter Dumbledore wrote to Grindlewald. Look at the signature. It's the mark again. It keeps cropping up. In Beedle the Bards, in the graveyard at Godrics Hollow." She explained.
"It was there too." Bill said to that.
"Where?" Tonks asked us seeing the look on Amys face.
"Gregorovitch wand shop." I told her and she looked to me.
"What does it mean?" Charlie asked wanting her to explain about it.
"Look, you have no idea where the next Horcrux is, and neither do I but this means something. I'm sure of it." Bill said to that and I nodded and sighed I have to say he's right.
"Yeah Bills right and Tonks, we ought to see Lovegood." Charlie said and I groaned. "Let's vote on it, those in favour?" Charlie said and asked and we looked to him and Tonks walked off.
The next day we packed up and went to see Xenophilius Lovegood. Might as well shouldn't we.
We walked over the fields to Lovegoods house. "Your not still mad at him are you?" I asked them because Charlie really is sorry about it.
"We're always mad at him." Bill replied to that and Tonks nodded and held my arm as we got up.
"Stacey and Luna." Charlie said to that.
"Stacey and Luna." We three said looking at the odd house and we made our way there but I had a bad feeling about this.
We knocked on the door. "Keep off the dirigible plums." Tonks read in confusion exactly like Stacey.
"What is it? Who are you?" Xenophilius asked and he wasn't looking good or himself.
"Hello, Mr Lovegood. I'm Amy Mcgonagall Moody. We met a few months ago." I said to him and he looked to me. "Could we come in?" I asked him.
He let us in and gave us tea and it was good to see an actual normal face and a different one at that.
"Where's Luna and Stacey?" Tonks asked curiously because they would normally greet us when they see us.
"Luna and Stacey?" Xenophilius asked. "They'll be along. So how can I help you Ms Moody?" He asked me.
"Well, actually it was about something you were wearing on your neck at the wedding. A symbol." I explained and he brought the necklace out.
"You mean this?" He asked us and I nodded at that.
"Yes that's it." I said and touched it. "Exactly" I told him. "What we've wondered is, what is it?"
"What is it?" He asked us and I nodded at that.
"Well, it's the sign of the deathly Hallows, of course." He told us and what was that? I've heard of it from my story I read Harry and I've heard Albus say it.
"The what?" Bill, Tonks and Charlie said confused.
"The Deathly Hallows. I assume your familiar with the three brothers?" He told us and that I've heard of.
"Yes." We all answered to that one. We were read them as kids.
"I have it in here." Tonks said getting the book out from Albus. I got passed it and they looked ready for a story so I read it.
Unknown Object
I found the story good but three things that could mean my invisibility cloak I got from the Potters. "So there you are. Those are the Deathly Hallows." Xenophilius said watching the window as if expecting someone.
"I'm sorry sir, but I don't quite understand." Bill said to the man. He then went to look for a pen and paper is he stalling for time for something? I looked at Tonks, Bill and Charlie and we knew something was up because where was Luna and Stacey? He then drew the deathly Hallows.
"The elder wand the most powerful wand ever made." He said drawing a line. Then at the bottom and in the middle of that. "The resurrection stone." Then a triangle for the cloak. "The cloak of invisibility. Together, they make the deathly Hallows. Together, they make the master of death."
"That mark was on the grave at Godrics Hollow." Tonks told him looking at the mark. "Uh, Mr Lovegood, does Peverell family have anything to do with the deathly Hallows?" She asked and looked at me and I looked to her.
"Uh...Uh...Ignotus. Excuse me and his brothers Cadmus and Antioch Peverell are thought to be the original owners if the Hallows and therefore the inspiration for the story. Uh.. Uh.. But your teas gone cold. I'll be right back." He said and left and us four exchanged looks.
"Wasn't that a bit odd?" Charlie asked and I nodded.
"Let's get out of here." Bill said picking up his bag and I agreed full on this. "I'm not drinking any more of that stuff hot or cold." He said and I nodded getting my bag as well. We went down stairs and he watched the window.
"Thank you Mr Lovegood." I told him.
"You forgot the water." Charlie said to him.
"Water?" Xenophilius said to us and we knew something was wrong we've spent too long here.
"For the tea." Tonks said to that one.
"Did..? Did I?" He asked us and we nodded at that one. He then laughs. "How silly of me."
"It's no matter. We really should be going anyways." I explained to him wanting to go right now.
"No, you can't!" He yelled and Bill and Charlie put me and Tonks behind them and he was a bit scary angry at us. He mumbled and went to the door and I knew something was wrong now for sure.
"Sir?" Bill said to him.
"You're my only hope. They were angry, you see, about what I've been writing. So they took them. They took my Stacey and Luna. My Luna and Stacey." He said and came to me and stroked my face. "But it's really you they want."
"Who took her Xenophilius?" I said to him because I was angry someone took my friends.
"Voldemort." He said and that name is tabooed. Oh crap! The Deatheaters came and we got down with them shooting at us and we tried to get together and I reached for their hands and we apperated.
"That treacherous little bleeder. Is there no one we can trust?" Charlie said and I had to agree on that but they blackmailed.
"That kidnapped them because he supported me, Charlie. He was just desperate I would do the same thing for Harry." I said to him and he sighed at that knowing I would do something if that was my last resort.
"I'll do the enchantments." Charlie said to us.
Then Charlie stopped and I did oh crap were doomed.
"Hello beautiful." The snatcher said to Tonks and she gripped onto my arm for dear life.
"Run!" Bill shouted and we ran like hell was on our tails because they were.
"Well don't hang about, snatch them." He said and we ran dodging their spells I was panting but I ran and I shot spells back ah them and Tonks yelled and they came and I grunted and fell but got back up and continued running through the trees and Charlie and Bill got caught by chains and I jumped from tree to tree branch like my dad taught me on the obstacle course when I was there in the summer it came in handy I'll tell you that much and they shot spells and I jumped down and Tonks came and we blew them and Tonks shot a spell at me and I fell backwards and I went into the dreams agains.
"Tell me, Grindlewald. Tell me where it is."
"Hello Tom. I knew you would come one day but surely you must know I no longer have what you seek."
"Tell me Grindlewald tell me where it is."
"Hahaha." Grindlewald laughed.
"Tell me who possess it."
"The elder wand lies with him of course buried in the earth. Dumbledore." Grindlewald said to him.
I panted and then sighed when I came out of it and I got dived on by Tonks. "The Hallows exist but he's only after one of them, the last one. He knows where it is. He's gonna have it by the end of tonight. You know who's found the elder wand." I informed her.
Tonks got grabbed and I did and I growled and snarled at them. "Don't touch them!" Bill and Charlie said and they got hit in the gut.
"Leave them!" Me and Tonks shouted at them.
"Your boyfriends will get worse then that." The man said to us.
"Get off me!" Tonks shouted the man picked her up.
"If he doesn't learn to behave himself." Scabrous said to us and I glared darkly at him and he looked and slapped me across the face. "And that goes for the woman as well darling. What happened to you anyways ugly?" He asked me and I wondered what Tonks did.
"No, not you." He said to his man that held me. "What's your name?"
"Petunia Dudley." I said and I wanted to gag out.
"Check it." Scabrous said and I knew that they wouldn't find anything about them. "And you, my lovely. What do they call you?" He asked Tonks.
"Penelope Clearwater. Half Blood." She said and I sighed.
"There's no Petunia Dudley on here." The man said. "Did you hear that ugly? The list says your lying." The man said to us and I'm glad they don't recognise us from the department of mysteries. "How come you don't want us to know who you are?"
"The lists wrong I told you who I am." I said to them as they held me by the neck. "Change of plan. We're not taking this lot to the ministry." He said and now I'm panicked and they apperated us to a manor and I recognised it as Malfoy manor and we were panicked remembering the torture.
I was taken and I didn't like this at all knowing I'll face likely Bellatrix. "Get Chloe." Bellatrix said as they lifted my fringe oh please Chloe don't tell them.
When we were in she held my head back for Chloe. "Well?" Bellatrix asked Chloe.
"I can't be sure." Chloe said and she looked at the teenager.
"Chloe, look closer daughter." Lucius said to her daughter. "If we are the ones to hand Moody over to the Dark Lord everything would be forgiven. All would be as it was, you understand?" Lucius said and I hated that man with a passion.
"Now, we won't be forgetting who actually caught her, I hope, Mr. Malfoy." Scabours said to the man.
"You dare talk to me like that in my own house?" Lucius shouted Azkaban has done a number on him.
"Lucius." Narcissa said and she dragged Lucius from Chloe.
"Don't be shy, sweetie. Come over." Bellatrix said to Chloe and I hope she doesn't.
Chloe looked at me and I looked to her. "Now, if it isn't who we think it is, Chloe, and we call him, he'll kill us all. We need to be absolutely." She said and I pleaded with Chloe through my eyes and she looked at me.
"What's wrong with her face?" Chloe asked.
"Yes, what is wrong with her face?" Bellatrix asked everyone.
"She came to us like that. Something she picked up from the forest, I reckon." Scabours said to her.
"Or ran into a stinging jinx. Was it you my darling niece?" Bellatrix asked Tonks.
"Give me her wand. We'll see what her last spell was." Bellatrix said and Chloe kept looking at me. Then Narcissa tapped her on the shoulder.
"Ah, got you." She said and then gasps at seeing the sword of Gryffindor. "What is that? Where did you get that from?"
"It was in their bag when we searched them. Reckon it's mine now." The man told her. Then Bellatrix attacked and the man flew back and the other snatchers went down.
"Are you mad!?" Scabours said and got chocked and he got up. "Get out! Get out!" She shouted and they did.
"Cosy put the boys and the girl in the cellar. I want a conversation with this one girl to girl with out neice." Bellatrix said and dragged me and I was angry. Wormtail chucked the boys in but Narcissa released me carefully and Wormtail went and she turned to me.
"I'm sorry I don't want this to happen but I don't want my kids and husband dead." She said and left and I gritted my teeth.
"What are we going to do? We can't leave Tonks alone with her? Especially when she's pregnant." Charlie said in panick.
"Charlie?" A voice came I recognised. "Bill? Amy?" She said and I was gobsmacked when Stacey and Luna appeared. Charlie used the Deluminator to light the place up.
"Stacey? Luna?" I said and Luna ran and hugged me and I hugged her.
Tonks though meanwhile was being tortured by her aunt. "That sword is meant to be in my vault at Gringotts. How did you get it?" She asked her.
Tonks was panicking and in pain. "What else did you and your friends take from my vault?" She asked and Tonks was in pain but she wouldn't say.
"I didn't take anything. Please. I didn't take anything." Tonks said to her crazy aunt.
"I don't believe you." She said and then she gave her pain into her arm.
We heard Tonks scream and I rammed the door but no luck get the hell of my goddaughter.
"We have to do something!" Bill shouted at that and concerned for her sister on what Bellatrix is doing.
"There's no way out of here. We've tried everything. It's enchanted." Ollivander told us and I gritted my teeth there must be a way.
"Please! Please!" Tonks screamed and I banged the walls in rage.
"Shut up!" Bellatrix shouted and I was so much rage that I could kill that woman.
I then had an idea and got the shattered mirror out of my sock. "You're bleeding Amy." Luna said to me and I grinned. "That's a curious thing to keep in your sock."
Tonks continued to scream and I gulped no way in hell am I standing by and doing nothing. I looked in the mirror for help please whoever is there help us.
"Help us, please." I begged the person and I heard screaming. Charlie used the Deluminator to put out the light.
"Let her go." Charlie said in anger.
"Shut up. Get back." Wormtail said pointing his wand and Bill grabbed him back.
"You, goblin come with me." Wormtail said and Griphook went and I sighed. Then Charlie put the light back on. Then I heard a grunt and it was Dobby.
"Ahhh!" Dobby said to us.
"Dobby!" I shouted to him in relief that he is here. "What are you doing here?" I asked him.
"Dobbys come to rescue Amy Mcgonagall Moody. Of course. Dobby will always be there for Amy Mcgonagall Moody." Dobby said to me and I smiled at him gratefully.
"Are you saying you could apperate in and out of this room? Could you take us with you?" I said and asked I wanted everyone out.
"Of course, ma'am. I'm an elf." He said to me and I smiled.
"Works for me." Bill said to that one.
"Right Dobby, I want you to take Ollivander, Luna and Stacey to Andromeda Tonks hide out." I informed him and he nodded at that.
"Whenever your ready sir." Stacey said to Dobby and Ollivander looked to the elf.
"Sir? I like her very much." Dobby said to me. He then grabbed all threes hands and then he looked at me. "Meet me at the top of the stairs in 10 seconds." He told us and I nodded but I've been having a bit of pain in my stomach but I ignored it.
Me, Charlie and Bill got to the side so Wormtail couldn't see us. Then someone casted a Wandless spell at him and he went down. We went up to see Dobby.
"Who gets his wand?" Dobby asked us and I smiled brightly.
"I'm only going to ask you once more, goblin. Think very, very carefully before you answer." Bellatrix said to Griphook.
"I don't know." Griphook said to her I wish Ragnok was here he knew me better.
"You don't know? Why weren't you doing your job? Who got into my vault?" Bellatrix said to him. "Who stole it? Who stole it? Well?" Bellatrix kept asking and I saw Tonks and she had a tear slip down her eyes and I wanted to murder her.
"When I last saw your vault the sword was there." Griphook answered and on Tonks's arm was Halfbreed.
"Oh well then, perhaps it just walked out of there on its own." Bellatrix said sarcastically.
"There is no place safer than Gringotts." Griphook said to that.
"Liar!" Bellatrix said and sliced Griphook face. "Consider yourself lucky, goblin. The same won't be said for this one." She said to that and walked towards Tonks.
"Like hell am I letting her doing that to my goddaughter!" I said and pointed my wand at Bellatrix. "Expelliamus!" I said and her wand was disarmed and caught by Bill and Lucius drew his wand.
"Stupefy!" Bill shouted and sent him flying back and we duelled Narcissa and Chloe.
"Stop!" Bellatrix shouted and she had Tonks with a knife to her throat and I stopped and I glared darkly and snarled at her. "Drop your wands. I said, drop them!" She said and I dropped mine.
"Pick them up Chloe, now." She ordered and Chloe picked them up.
"Well, well, well look who we have here. It's Amy Mcgonagall Moody. She's all bright and shiny and new again, just in time for the dark lord. Call him." Bellatrix told them. "Call him." She said and Lucius put his wand and before he did we heard squeaking and I saw Dobby. Go him! I love that elf. He released it and I grabbed Tonks to me and Bellatrix screamed and got out of the way. Bill got the wands off of Chloe and I grabbed mine and pointed at Lucius.
"Stupefy!" I shouted and he got flung back.
"Stupid elf. You could've killed me!" She said to Dobby.
"Dobby never meant to kill. Dobby only meant to maim or seriously injure." Dobby said and he disarmed Narcissa and got her wand and I loved this.
"You dare take a witches wand!" Bellatrix shouted and Dobby passed the wand to me. "How dare you defy your masters."
"Dobby has no master! Dobby is a free elf!" Dobby said confidently and pain came and Tonks grabbed me and noticed this but what was wrong with Amy? "And Dobby had come to save Amy Mcgonagall Moody and her friends." He said and we grabbed a hold and she chucked a knife. We landed in the back garden of somewhere and Tonks laid me down and she looked at me.
"What's wrong?" Tonks asked.
"I don't know my stomach kills all of a sudden." I said and put an arm around my stomach and I looked at Dobby. No! "Are you all right? We're safe." I asked and said and she checked my stomach and she pressed down and I gave a shout and she looked to me in shock.
"Amz, I know what's wrong and that's your in labour." Tonks said and my eyes widened.
"I'm what!" I shouted at that I couldn't be.
"Amy Mcgonagall Moody." Dobby said and I got up and Tonks tried to make her lay down but she wouldn't. I ran to him and caught him as he fell and I saw the knife of Bellatrix.
"No, Dobby. Just hold on." I said to him he can't die. "Hold on. Look, just hold on, okay?" I said to him as I cradled him and I was in pain as well from the labour I'm apparently in but I didn't even know. I made sure to use a contraception charm but...Albus! He took it off! On he's a sly man.
"Tonks will have something." I said to her and looked to her. "Help me!" I begged but she didn't have her bag and Bill cradled me to him and I saw Andromedas house. Harry.
"Such a beautiful place." He said to me. "To be with my friends." He told me and I kissed his head with that. "Dobby happy to be with his friend Amy Mcgonagall Moody." He said and I cried and Stacey.
"We should close his eyes don't you think?" She said to me and Bill got me up and I was barely able too and we saw Andromeda and Tonks went to her and gave her memories back and she hugged her daughter and came to me and helped me.
"We need to get you inside we'll take care of Dobby." Andromeda said to her and knew she was in labour and I nodded.
"No magic. Burry him without magic please." I begged and they nodded and she brought me in and Harry walked in and he went wide eyed.
"Mummy!" Harry shouted but saw the pain and now he was concerned.
"Harry she's fine but we need to take her upstairs." Tonks reassured and they took me up stairs and got my trousers down and onto the bed and Andromeda shut the door and Bill with Charlie was building the burial.
"Alright Amy, you have to push sweetie." Andromeda instructed and Tonks took my hand and I nodded.
I pushed and I screamed into pain and sweat built up my forehead and Harry was concerned and Stacey and Luna with Ollivander and Griphook heard this and waited.
Andromeda was instructing me and one push it was out. Crying entered the atmosphere but I was still in pain and Andromeda looked and went wide eyed.
"More than one Amz. You have a boy." Andromeda said and handed the boy to Tonks and Tonks wrapped the boy up and cleared his airways and placed him down and she took Amy's hand.
"Push, Amz." Tonks instructed and I did as told and I screamed and I was in pain and another wailing entered and I collapsed with exhaustion but apparently I wasn't done yet and I looked to Andromeda. "Another boy, Amy." She said and I smiled and she got me ready for hope for the last time.
I pushed and cried and screamed and everyone flinched at the sound and after five minutes the third baby came and it wailed and Tonks stroked my head.
"It's a girl!" Andromeda said and cut the cord and waved her wand and cleaned Amy up and then went to the babies to check on them.
"Are they alright?" I asked in concern wondering if they were.
"They are fine and healthy. Born on the 23rd March." She told she then weighed them. "All 5 pounds and 6 Oz." She informed and she placed them all in my hands and I looked at them as they looked to me what am I going to name them.
"Amz, look who they look like." Tonks said noticing it and I did and I looked.
One boy had auburn hair and blue eyes, the next had blonde hair and brown eyes and the last one had black hair and green eyes and I had to say they looked like my parents and Albus.
"What are you going my to name them and who are the godparents?" Andromeda asked me and she luckily had birth certificates due to she is a healer.
"The first born will be named after his farther Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Mcgonagall Moody Dumbledore and his godparents will be Tonks and Remus. The second son will be called: Alastor Sirius Mcgonagall Moody Dumbledore and for his godparents it will be Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour and for my daughter I shall name her Minerva Ariana Mcgonagall Moody Dumbledore with her godparents being Charlie Weasley and Ashley Longbottom." I said and Andromeda smiled and wrote it down and Tonks adored them.
"I'll go fetch Harry then should I?" She said and went out and then suddenly a ten year old ran and jumped on the bed carefully and cuddled up to me.
"Mummy." Harry said and he looked to his new siblings and Andromeda brought bottles and a breast pump and she smiled and I gave Minerva to Tonks and she cooed over her and Androemda got me shirtless and got the milk for Minerva and when they was done I latched the two boys on and they sucked.
"Mummy what are their names?"Harry asked seeing his brothers and sister.
"Well this one is called Albus, this one...is Alastor. After your grandpa and finally Minerva who is after grandma." I said and he wiped away a tear.
"Why mummy sad?" Harry asked and she looked to him.
"Because your grandpa died in July baby boy." I said and he cried into me and I kissed his head and Androemda looked down.
"I think it's time to rest." Androemda said and took the boys and put them in a transfigured crib with my daughter and I smiled and fell to sleep safely we will be here for Tonks's birth and no more than that because we have to move and Harry fell to sleep cuddled up to me. I smiled and fell to sleep with him I wished Albus was here with dad and Sirius and mum. I then fell to sleep peacefully.
