A Soul Bond - HP fanfic (Completed)

Chapter 55. I will never join you.

When Eve waited outside for Harry, she felt it again. That vomit-like sensation she always felt whenever Voldemort wanted to connect with her and she was not strong enough to fight it. She has never been strong enough. 

"I now talk only to you Evelyn..." 

"What do you want?" Eve asked, not knowing if he would hear her. 

"Oh I can hear you perfectly." He said. "Harry doesn't know that I can talk to you without him knowing about it or feeling it." 

When he said 'feeling it', she knew that Voldemort knew more than enough about her. If he knew about her abilities and her connections to Harry, he knew about her in the prophecy. 

"How?" Eve asked, although it didn't matter anymore. However he found out, it was over for her. 

"I know you can destroy me. You don't even need the Horrocruxes to do so. Your magic is stronger than anything that has stepped foot into our world than anyone has ever known." Voldemort said, which just made her know that he knew more about her and she did herself. "I want you to join me. Instead of coming against me, the both of us together, we can make amazing things."

"I will never join you." Evelyn said firmly. She will never do that to Harry or her friends. 

"You say that now because you don't know my price yet." He said. "If you don't join me, I'll break down this castle walls and I will kill Harry Potter and all of your precious friends in the blink of an eye."

"If you know I can destroy you, what makes you think I won't try to do it before you even think about killing my friends?"

"Oh darling, because you don't know how. However, I can show you your potential. I can teach you how to use your magic. No one else can give you that but me." 

Evelyn knew it was tempting but she also knew she would never truly join him. But if Harry and her friends were in danger and she could help, she would do anything to do so.

As Harry got the information he needed he started to run for his objective, however, he also remembered Evelyn was supposed to be waiting for him. When he didn't saw her, he was a bit confused but decided not to get too nervous about it. 

Maybe she went to look for Steph or something, right?

Right. That was it, she went to look for Steph so she could also help us look better. Harry thought. 

Before Harry could get to the Room of Requirement, he could feel a pain he has only felt before whenever he had destroyed a horrocrux, and he knew then that Hermione and Ron had succeeded in their mission. He was closer in defeating Voldemort. Although that pain was a lot to take in, he had to keep going. 

As Harry stepped into the Room of Requirement, the air crackled with tension. He had a singular purpose, to find Ravenclaw's lost diadem, a crucial Horcrux that could lead to Voldemort's downfall. His mind raced, filled with urgency and determination. Memories of his friends, their sacrifices, and the weight of the mission pressed heavily on him. He had to succeed.

With each passing moment, his focus sharpened. He navigated the cluttered space, filled with forgotten items and remnants of lost hopes, searching for any sign of the diadem. The shadows seemed to dance around him, mirroring his anxious thoughts. 

Suddenly, amidst the chaos, he somehow felt it. His heart raced as he approached a small box, and as he opened it and saw it, he knew this was it. However, just as he touched it, he caught sight of Draco Malfoy and a group of Slytherins nearby, their presence a stark reminder of the danger that lurked in every corner of his quest.
