<Ava Potter's Pov>

The door opens to reveal several of the guards from the castle. Guns aiming at us all. Mattheo stepped a bit in front of me while aiming a gun back at them as well. I got out from behind his back while he looked at me with murderous eyes. 

I aimed my gun at them and they looked at Harry and I. "Why? What- He wants us to kill his child?"

"Ava?" This was Harold.

"Hi, Harold."

"Why-"

"Harry's father wants to kill me because I didn't agree to a wedding"

"He's your father to" Harry adds. I turn to him causing everyone else to as well.

"I don't think a father would ask his guards to kill his daughter, would he?"

"No" He said quietly looking down. I sighed and turned to the guards.

"Look guys, if you are here to kill me," I fired the gun and one dropped to the ground, blood falling out of his chest as his eyes were still open. "Do it before I kill every single one of you." One of the guards pointed his gun at me but before he could fire I shot him. 

Him falling to the ground and blood coming out his stomach. Everyone started firing and once we were done we made our way upstairs. "Alright we all need to split up and look for James" I said. They nodded. "Ok Pansy and Draco. Hermione and Lucas. Harry and Ron. Blaise and Theodore. Cho and Cedric."

They all nodded as I said their names. I turned to my curly brown haired boy. "You and me." A small smile appeared on his lips causing an even smaller one to appear on mine. He looked down at our hands and his hand slipped into mine and he looked up at me.

"Until the end." That made my smile bigger. But I also felt my eyes watering, thinking about losing him. I took a deep breath and turned to the group, blinking my tears away. Mattheo's hand still in mine. 

"Let's do this"

"And then go to the Riddle Castle and get drunk until we pass out." Theodore smiled. I sniffled and nodded.

"Hell ya." I looked at Pansy who had a few tears running down her face. I was gonna walk up to her but gun shots snapped me back into the reality of being in war. "Good luck guys." They nodded and walked out with Mattheo and I following. 

We all separated and Mattheo and I headed to Riddle Castle. As we were walking we heard weeping. I walked in and saw cissy crying, her head in her hands. We both ran up to her and I held her. "What happened cissy?"

"Tom-Tom he di-died" I looked at Mattheo immediately and saw a few tears fall from his eyes. Tom died. I felt tears start falling down my face. Then on cue the doors burst open, very dramatic trance. 

There James standed.

"Oh! This easy, huh?" He raised the gun towards me and I let go of cissy quickly pulling out mine. He looked shocked but he tried to mask it.

"Like you would ever actually use a gun on your father." A small smirk formed on my face as I shot his right shoulder. The gun flew out of his hand and he fell to the floor.

"Pathetic. You just made this easier for me." 

"Bitch" I smirked and shot his other shoulder. "AHHH!" He screamed. Then Harry and Ron walked through the doors. "Son son your-your sister has gone crazy. He-help." He reached out  an arm and Harry started to go for it. 

This back stabbing bitch.

But before anything else happened he skipped his hand, grabbing the gun from my hand and firing it at James, in his chest. He fell to the ground and his eyes shut slowly as you could tell he started giving up.

A small smile formed on my lips as I saw my 'father' die. Then I remembered, Tom died. I looked back at Cissy and Mattheo. They were both holding each other as they sobbed. Tears started streaming down my face and I walked up to them.

Mattheo pulled me to him. The guy that treated me more like a father then my own died trying to kill that same man. All of this was my fault. "Av-Ava, darling" Cissy broke. Her voice sounded so broken. 

"Ye-yes?" My head still in Mattheo's chest.

"You-your not a Gryffin-Gryffindor." WHAT!

"Huh?" This is when I pulled away and my eyes met cissys. 

"You-Your" She took a breath in trying to stop her stuttering. "You're a Slytherin." My mouth dropped slightly. "When you were entered into Hogwarts you were sorted separably due to you showed Slytherin traits and they didn't want to be embarrassed.  So when you got into Slytherin, your father-"

"Don't call him that." I shook my head and shut my eyes a bit before opening them. I couldn't believe this. 

"I am sorry. James paid Dumbledore to put you in Gryffindor. Saying if he didn't he would find a way to ruin Hogwarts. James oblivited you so you wouldn't ever remember this memory and couldn't remember being sorted into Slytherin."

I shook my head and looked at Harry whose mouth was wide open. "So all the people died because-" I was speechless. I didn't know what to say.

"Tom wanted me to tell you. He felt bad, seeing the love you have for our son but always avoiding it because of what James wanted."

"I-" I shook my head, Not knowing what to say. So tell me this? I had an arranged marriage and when I stepped down from that James fired a gun, declaring war. Then my only father figure died. Then my brother killed our father. Then I find out I was never in Gryffindor.

Always Slytherin. 

"This is bloody-" I threw my hands in the air. "This is bloody insane." She chuckled and nodded. I looked at Mattheo who had a slight smile on his face. I got up and hugged Mattheo. He wrapped his hands around my waist and squeezed me tight. "We could have been together all along." I whispered.

"We could have been. But what is it our lives if it isn't a challenge to have some happiness?" 

"True" I chuckled He hugged me tighter.

"Hi, my Slytherin." Butterflies erupted in my stomach. 

"Your Slytherin."
