Chapter 38: Dreams and Revelations.

(Outside the chamber of Secrets)

"So... she's dead isn't she..." says Ginny looking at Harry as she suddenly realized what happened after hearing Rita's screams, while Gabrielle looked a bit unnerved as she understood what happened.

"It had to be done." Harry says

"But why?" Choked out Hermione who was also disturbed by what has happened.

"Hermione... I had no choice. She had to go. If we let her go now she would instantly report this to Fudge. What if she knew about my secret?" Harry explained his reasoning on why he left Rita with Rachnera.

"Still Harry! Couldn't we just I don't know obliviate her memories of what happened? Or force her into a magical oath instead of killing her? Or you could have used your eyes to give her a quick death and allow rachnera to eat her." Hermione insisted still not liking what has happened.

"If we do obliviate her someone will realize she lost a few her memories and the Aurors will also notice. Have you forgotten that she has slandered not just me. But you, Ginny and the other girls. She even admitted to slandering Gabrielle when she was cornered by Roger!" Harry reasoned out with Gabrielle still flinching at that memory.

"Hermione.. Harry's right you know, Merlin knows what Rita could have written about Gabrielle." Ginny says with the bushy-haired girl giving her a look.

"I get it OKAY! it doesn't mean I have to like it!" Hermione cried

"Let's just go and forget what happened..." Harry says with Hermione glaring at him.

"Forget? What if someone realizes that Rita is missing!?" Hermione hissed with Harry now thinking about that.

"Damn it... she's right. "Harry thought Hopefully Rachnera at least leaves something of Rita left and probably put whatever is left of her in the forbidden forest to make it look like Rita had been attacked by a creature.

"Don't worry about that. I'll take care of it." He says assuring that he'll do something about this to make it believable.

"And what if Professor Dumbledore finds out what you have done?" Hermione added with Harry looking away knowing his headmaster won't be pleased of what he has done.

"I'll have no choice but to tell the truth." Harry says clenching his teeth.

"Come on let's go." He urged.

"WHAT!?" Screeched Fleur as she had been told by Harry of what almost happened to Gabrielle.

Fleur was furious and wanted to murder Roger. As she almost turned full avian to go hunt down Roger only for Harry to her in her way.

"Fleur wait!" He told her

"Get out of the way Arry! So I can roast that pig for doing such a thing to my little sister!" Hissed Fleur trying to get around Harry but he was blocking her.

"Fleur please! Its already being taken care of! As much as I want to beat the bloody git myself. It's not worth it! Please my Angel!" Harry says trying to calm her down and get her to see reason.

Fleur still felt her blood boil wanting to kill Roger or worse castrate him before mauling him in full avian form. Harry had held her and hugged her to calm her down.

"Please sister.. calm down... Arry saved me and nothing happened to me." Gabrielle says in a soothing voice Fleur having heard what her sister said took a deep breath and had to count to ten to calm herself.

She was angry and have every right to be. But the important thing is was Gabrielle was safe and that her husband saved her in which she is grateful for.
