Amor (The Sins Book 2) {HP}

Chapter Seventeen

James and Amor snuck into Hogwarts, it was late at night, but something in their heads told them where they needed to go. Hogwarts was guiding them to the room, opening passages for them, portraits freezing as they got near them, don't want Dumbledore to know they are there, now did they?

The two eventually found themselves in front of a tapestry, "Is this it?" Amor asked. James shrugged, "Only one way to find out," he said. He began pacing, thinking, 'I need to find the horcrux,' over and over again. When he stopped, they both looked under the tapestry and opened the door, to be met with a lot of junk. Amor noticed James stiffening up, and so she looked for the horcrux, now knowing it was officially there. She found the diadem pretty quickly, the ghost of Rowena's daughter had been nearby and pointed it out, "We'll bring it back to you," Amor promised Helena Ravenclaw. Helena gave a small smile back and left the two alone. Amor put the horcrux in her bag so James would stop being affected by it and the two quickly left. Actually, they were interrupted before they could leave, a squawk was heard behind them, they turned around to find Fawkes flying towards them with the sorting Hat, "I believe I have something for you," the hat said as it was dropped in front of the couple, Fawkes perched on Amor's shoulder, enjoying the attention he was getting from the woman. James swore he heard a clink when the hat dropped so he tilted the hat over, reached in, and pulled out a sword. "I knew it was in Hogwarts, but I didn't know it would hidden that well," he said, the name 'Godric Gryffindor' gleaming on the sword. "Thank you," he told the hat and phoenix before charming it to stay invisible.

"Where are we going next?" James asked after they had officially left the castle, mentally preparing for what he was going to have to do.

"Gaunt Shack, I know where it is," Amor told him, 'Dad, we're headed there now,' she mentally told Lucifer. 'On our way,' she heard. "Dad and Death will meet us there," Amor informed James.

The two disappeared, reappearing in front of an abandoned shack, Lucifer and Death appearing soon after. "Well, the reason James had to be here, Tom Riddle made a horcrux out Marvolo Gaunt's ring, unbeknownst to him, it also contains the Resurrection Stone," Death revealed making Amor and James' eyes widen.

"And Death would prefer, that if somebody were to have some kind of rank over him or equivalent, he would rather have a Potter be it," Lucifer adds, having an idea of where James' thoughts were going. James grew up on the tales of the Peverells, his cloak was the prime example that the Hallows existed. If he had the cloak and the stone and then disarmed Dumbledore...he would be the Master of Death. Death nodded along with Lucifer's statement, "I did prefer Ignotus' line the best, and that hasn't changed," Death said directly to James, also sensing his hesitance.

James turned around and entered the shack, immediately looking down at one part of the flooring, "It's under there," he said, but he wouldn't dare touch it, Amor stepped forward to the spot, but James stopped her. "Ah, it's cursed too," Lucifer noticed. He removed the curse himself, and then James put up his mental shields and grabbed the ring all of them hurrying out to leave. Lucifer and Death brought the two back where the rest of the horcruxes were. The diadem and ring sat with the diary, necklace, and chalice. James sat the sword next to the door, "We have all of it," Amor said in relief.

"Rest, please rest, this can be taken care of tomorrow," Death said, him and Lucifer leaving.

Amor and James cleansed themselves of any aura of the horcruxes off, and made their way to the others, "We officially have all five," James said quietly as Amor walked in announcing, "I need Prongslet cuddles!" getting giggles from their son. All the other adults look relieved, "When will they be gone?" Regulus asked.

"Tomorrow, so everybody rest up. Those with dark cores will be needed, especially Lucius since you aren't going to be affected as much as the Blacks," James told them, looking at Lucius specifically afterwards. Ted, being the only one with a Light core was going to stay with the children, Sirius and Regulus would be sensors of some sort since they reacted the most to it. Lucius would be the main person to help move horcruxes into another items, if he gets drained, then Narcissa and Andromeda step in. Sirius and Regulus were last resort, and Amor would be directing everybody. James would be on standby to officially destroy the horcruxes since he could wield the sword.

The adults all spent time with their children, or in Regulus' case, nephew, and stayed up until they got sleepy. Draco and Harry, being the youngest, almost two for both of them, were the first to fall asleep. The two toddlers were cuddled into their mothers as they fell asleep and clung to them when they tried to put them in their beds.

Amor stepped out of the Potter heir room to find James waiting there. James had a stressed out look on his face, he seemed to be thinking about something and worrying over it from the fact that keep messing with his hair more than normal, something he does that Amor and Sirius picked up on when he gets anxious or nervous. "Is this about the stone or tomorrow?" she asked quietly. She didn't get a verbal answer, just a nod. They were all going to be exhausted tomorrow, she knew that, but James was going to be the one responsible for actually destroying the horcruxes, that was first thing to be stressed about. The second thing was the stone, he was nervous to possibly the Master of Death. Amor pulled him down to her, "You will do great tomorrow, I believe in you, you have the ability to do it. As for the other matter, Death already likes you, I can tell, Potters and Morningstar's are his soft spot," she joked slightly at the end, she was being honest though. She could feel a small smile form on James mouth, although she could still feel the tears that had started while she was talking. "Where is Sirius?"

"With Reggie," his muffled voice responded.

"Okay, he'll join in later then," Amor said, pulling him towards the Lord and Lady bedroom. James slumped down on the bed, dragging Amor back with him, smirking when he heard her squeal. They cuddled for a bit, before things started escalating.

Regulus and Sirius were walking up to Regulus' room, they were bonding over things, trying to work on their relationship. Sirius paused as they got to the door, "Siri?" Regulus questioned, yes they were calling each other Reg/Reggie and Siri again, "Shh," Sirius shushed him. The older Black brother listened, with his sensitive hearing he could hear familiar moaning, and a familiar bed bouncing. His eyes widened, "Gotta go, see you tomorrow," he said to his bewildered brother and sped down to the Lord Room, rushing in and throwing off his clothes, and jumping in the bed.
