The Protector

Finding Another Horcrux

I ran up to Fred and George as I saw them first. I gave them hugs. "I need you both to be careful, alright?"

"You don't have to worry about us, Bridge," Fred nodded.

"We'll be alright," George smiled. "It's good to see you again."

I smiled and nodded. Two other faces seemed to be waiting at the door for me. I looked back to them, "I have to go. Please, be careful." I turned and ran over to Tonks and Remus.

I hugged Tonks first, and I noticed her belly wasn't as there anymore. I hugged Remus first. "It's so good to see you again!"

"Right back at ya, Bridge," Tonks laughed.

"So, hows the baby?"

"Good," she smiled. "He's a few days old. Had him about two days ago."

"Oh my god, how are you still here?"

"Because I want to fight for the good of our world. So Teddy doesn't have to grow up in fear."

"His name's Teddy?"

"It's actually Edward Remus Lupin, but we call him Teddy," Remus explained to me. "And we wanted to talk to you about him, actually."

"What about?"

Tonks took a deep breath, "If we don't make it, since you're the godmother, we want you to take care of him. Right now, my mother has him, but she's old. She can't care for him together. You and Harry need to take over."

"A note will be in one of our pockets, explaining the details," Remus said. "We know we can trust you and Harry to make smart choices. We trust you."

"But that won't happen, right? You guys will be fine," I stared at them.

"You never know."

"Bridge!" I heard my name called from the stairwell.

I looked back to the couple, "Well, be careful. I'll see you later!" I ran towards the grand stairwell. I saw Harry halfway up the stairs and Luna was running down the stairs towards me.

"Bridget, Harry's waiting for you," Luna told me as she ran off.

I ran up towards Harry, "You waited for me?"

"Yeah, we do things together. Right?"

"Right. But where are we going?"

"Luna said since nobody alive who's seen it, I should find someone dead. So we're looking for Helena Ravenclaw."

We ran down the corridor towards the Quad. I stopped. It was beautiful, the protection shield in the sky.

"Come on, Bridge. We haven't got much time."

I nodded and followed after him. We took a few more steps and there was the ghost. The person we were looking for.

She looked to us.

Harry and I stepped forward, "Hello. So, you're the Grey Lady?"

"You're Helena Ravenclaw?" I corrected. She has a name, you know. "You're Rowena's daughter, right?"

She began to back away, "Are you friends of Luna Lovegood?"

"Yes," I nodded.

"She said you might be able to help us," Harry nodded.

She was silent at first. Then she spoke, "You're looking for my mother tiara, aren't you?"

"Yes, we are."
