Light in the darkness

8: Horcuxs

Harry, Harry would know right? Of course he would, he can speak snake or used to. So what did they do they requested (or whether Albus did for scorpius) for both of them to go home, professor McGonagall didn't refuse (obviously getting the hint there was something bad going on) . So straight away they went to Albus' house. 'Why do you think she's escaped' All the Potter including Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley were there after getting an urgent letter from McGonagall. 'Yes I do, Hermione' Scorpius' voice only just a whisper.

She turned to Harry who was looking as anxious as his youngest son. 'Personally Hermione if we get to the time turned before she does and then... '
'Harry she can't get to it unless she goes into the department of mysteries, and she's more likely to be looking for her prophecy'
Albus without thinking quoted it word for word 'When spares are spared, When time is turned, when unseen children murder their fathers, then will the dark Lord return'
Everyone turned to look at Albus 'What ok me and scorp both memorized it? ' he shrugged.
'Oh Draco should be here by now. But he's not. ' said Ginny looking at her watch.
'Got caught up at the ministry' answered Harry.
'Honestly if this was me, I'd be thinking to myself about the fact that hearing snakes in my head, are well scary' vocalized Ron. Hermione moved to hit him but missed, Ginny however successfully hit him. 'Ow ow ok'
'Ron, the poor boys been crying for TWO HOURS, I hardly think you're gonna help by saying that' Ginny said bitterly James Snickered but by his mum's look he stopped. Draco all of a sudden burst through the fireplace. 'Sorry, I am late, would anyone mind filling me in? ' He said dusting ash off his black clothes, his long blonde hair was covered. Instantly everyone went to go fill him in on what had happened. Ron and Hermione excused themselves as they had to go back to work, Hermione promised to call a meeting up on this as soon as possible. So Albus and Scorpius were left alone on the couch. Albus gestured to Scorpius upstairs as their parents had already said if it got too stressful they could go. He nodded and followed Albus upstairs. They sat in silence for a while lounging on Albus' bed. But Scorpius' body began to shake. He tried to stop it but he couldn't. In his mind he was flying , flying through the streets of diagon alley, down round the back of Weasley wizard wheezes and came face to face with Ron, unloading boxes outside the back, for storage. He looked up faced scorpius then tried to bat him away. Scorpius realised he had talons, that he wasn't his normal self at all, he was a bird, a bird with black feathers. Then the bird took a step back then started pecking at Ron until he was covered in blood scratched to pieces and bitten multiple times. His own screams brought him back he'd found his way into the floor, everyone around him, his dad and Albus the closest. 'Ron... Ron he.... He's... '
'What? Ron's what? ' lily spoke looking at scorpius as if he'd done something wrong.
'Well... He's injured.... '
An owl flew in at that very moment, Harry grabbed it and read it aloud.
'Just to let you know I found my brother laying in the middle of boxes drenched in his own blood and looked as though he's been pecked alive by some vicious seagull, we're sending him to St. Mungos now

George'
'Yes.... That... Sums... It up' Scorpius was breathless, everyone was staring at him in shock.
'We've been here before' Ginny muttered turning to her husband. 'With dad when he was attacked by Nagini'
'Yep, but we don't know for sure' Harry said tapping his feet . 'If scorpius is we have no way of providing it, unless everything begins to come true'
'What I don't understand is how? '
'I know how' Albus spoke this time his eyes moving between scorpius and his mum. 'Craig's death she used Craig's death to turn him into a horcux, it's the only way'
'Didn't think of that but it has to be' Draco put in.
Scorpius again was slipping put of his own consciousness, he was in a room a dark room, there was a man in front, a ministry official being quizzed by non other that Delphi herself. He was bound to a chair with thick black chains wrapped around him. Scorpius noted that he was the bird again, this time sitting on a perch. Delphi began to speak to the man. 'Where is it? The time turn I will go to the minister of magic myself if I have too so before I go and harm the minister, tell me were it is you pathetic man'
'I don't... ' he begged 'know please I really don't'
'Fine you leave me with no choice' she laughed and with a flick of her wand the man was dead. 'You know' she turned to the bird. 'The reason asked Euphemia Rowle if I could keep you was only because your useful, I can possess you making my murders go undetected' The bird ruffled it's feathers. The darkness began to fade away. 'Hermione... Hermione's being hunted and she's definitely out.... ' his voice was shaking as he spoke 'She wants it the Time Turner... And she's going to attack Hermione to get to it'
