Snape's Daughter(a harry potter fanfic)

Chapter 12

                             Chapter 12

             In Defense Against the Dark Arts my dad was teaching us about occulemency, the art of blocking a mind curse or casting one. Seamus, for once, was paying attention the whole time and taking notes. I tried to take notes too in case Seamus missed something but I think he actually wrote the whole period non stop.

                      When we got out Seamus didn’t head towards Potions, he headed for the chamber. “Seamus what are you doing” I asked and he stopped. “I need some time alone Lena, I’ll see you later” I sighed as he started walking again. Seamus seemed to be drifting away, I could notice it every day, he would talk less, eat less, and sleep less ever since the first dream, today it looked like he had just given up all together.

                       I couldn’t believe what was happening to Seamus, he had been so full of life awhile ago but now it seems like he has no life left in him, not much anyway. Alexa walked up beside me, I could see she had been crying. “What’s wrong Alexa?” I asked as we started walking. “I’m worried about Seamus, he hasn’t talked to me since we were in the common room, even when we were in the hall together, and he looks so pale all the time” I nodded.

                     “I’m worried about him too, to me it feels like he’s drifting away” she nodded. “Do you know where he is?” I nodded and pointed to the bathroom where the chamber was, “There should be a hole where the sinks were, drop down that and you’ll find him” she nodded and jogged down the hall and into the bathroom. I walked by as she jumped in, I hoped she could help Seamus.

    I slid down into a room and landed on something hard. I looked down and saw bones, gross. I stood up and looked around for Seamus, all I saw in this room was a giant snake skin. I stepped over it and started walking again, the dry air and slight darkness made me paranoid, and that snake skin. I found a open door and stepped through it, I emerged in a chamber probably as big as the Great Hall, Seamus was kneeling in front of a giant statue of a face, in front of him was a giant snake.

             I slowly walked toward him “Seamus?” I asked softly but he didn’t respond. I walked over to where he was and knelt next to him “Seamus?” I asked again and he slowly looked at me, his eyes were glazed over, and I realized the puddles of water that had surrounded him were ice.

               “Seamus are you ok?” Seamus coughed, and then he started to fall forward. I caught him “Seamus, Seamus what’s wrong?” he coughed again. “Alexa, it’s him… it’s him” I straightened him. “It’s who Seamus?” he cried out. “he’s trying to….” His head twisted “run” he whispered. I shook my head “I’m not leaving you Seamus, I can help you” he shook his head. “You have to leave, if he gets control”  he coughed again, I could see his breath “he’ll kill you” he screamed and I pulled him tight against me. He screamed and I felt a tear hit my shoulder.

               “I can’t stop him, please, run” I put my face in his chest. “Never Seamus, I’ll never leave you” I heard a crack and Seamus spoke again, his voice was different. “You should have run, now I’m going to kill you” I looked up at Seamus. His eyes were red and he had a wicked smile. “Who are you?” I asked and his smile widened. “I’m Seamus” his neck snapped to one side and I heard him panting “Alexa, please run. Now” I pulled out my wand and put it to his head.

               “Ligilimens” I said and then I was in Seamus mind. I saw Seamus dueling someone I recognized from the newspaper, Lord Voldemort. Seamus’ spell was retreating towards him, it looked like he was about to lose. I tried to take a step toward him but I was frozen in place. I heard Seamus yell “You are not going to hurt her” and his spell shot forward. Voldemort laughed, his own curse coming closer to hitting Seamus. “I’m not going to hurt her, I’m going to kill her” Voldemort yelled and I saw Seamus’ eyes start to burn with anger. “You aren’t going to touch her” he yelled and his spell surged forward, almost hitting the tip of Voldemort’s wand, Voldemort growled and pushed back.

             Seamus yelled “Now get the fuck out of my head!” and the his spell shot forward and Voldemort disappeared. I felt like I was being pulled out of Seamus’ mind and when I came to my senses I was laying on the floor of the chamber, Seamus was laying next to me. He coughed and took a deep breath. “Alexa?” he asked when he saw me. I nodded and he pulled me into a close hug. “Thank you so much Alexa, I love you” he kissed me I kissed back happily.

                     “I love you too Seamus” I said as he pulled back from the kiss. He smiled and pulled me tight into his chest. “You know, if this place wasn’t so dark and full of snakes it would be kind of romantic” he nodded. “But any place is romantic as long as I can hold you in my arms” he said. I kissed his cheek and he put his hand under my chin and tilted it up, he kissed me again, softer than before.

           When he pulled back I smiled “Seamus, can we please get out of here? It’s kinda creepy” he nodded and stood up then pulled me up. “Alexa, thank you for staying with me, but next time that happens, run,” I nodded “I’ll think about it, but if you’re being possessed I’m going to stay with you, and make sure you know who doesn’t take over, I’m not going to lose you” he nodded and slid his hand into mine and we started to walk out of the chamber. “Hey Seamus, I just realized something” he looked over at me. “Yeah?” I grinned “You beat Voldemort in a duel” he shrugged. “Maybe you  make me more powerful than him”
