The Lost Twin ( Harry Potter Fanfic)

Decisions

Authors Note:

 I think I messed up on the timing of this book, but just for clarification, this is the begginning of Rose's FIFTH year at Hogwarts.. not sixth. :) 

ON WITH THE STORY.. 

**********************************

It was a dreary day; thunder, lightening, rain. It had been a week since I had been at GrimmualdPlace, and everyone had just started to finally forgive me. Even Mrs.Weasley glared at me less. 

Summer break was ending, there were only two weeks left and I was as confused as ever. I didn't know weather or not I could return to Hogwarts - did I even want to go back? I knew the magic, so it would be easy.. but facing the students? The families of the people i've killed was too much for me to bear. But since when did I not confront my fears? 

So that brought be back to my confusion. 

Sighing I looked across the window sill, staring at the pouring rain when suddenly i head a loud bang. I quickly grabbed my wand and ran to the staircase. I hesitated there for a moment before I suddenly heard another loud band and ran down the winding staircase. There in front of the door was none other than Severus Snape, with his wand out at Sirius. Sirius was giving him a look full of hatred and I noticed that no one else seemed to be around. 

I quickly approached them, "What is the meaning of this? Severus? Why are you here?" I asked, looking at the two grown men.

He glared at me and I had to resist the urge to curse him. 

"I've been sent by the Dark Lord, he wants me to find some way to bring you back to him. He's furious you've escaped him, and thought by killing that insolent little boy, it would bring you back to him." Severus said. 

"He thought by killing Caleb, I'd come back to his side?" I asked bewildered. 

"No, he thought by killing Caleb, you'd come find him for revenge." Severus said. 

I could see how the Dark Lord would think that. A month ago I would have surely seeked him out and be sure to get revenge, but now there seemed no point in it.. 

I nodded. "So what are you going to take me to him or not?" 

 "So, he can kill you?" Snape asked, raising his eyebrows.

"I'm not going to hide like a coward." I said calmly.

"Your going to die like an idiot then!" Snape said, his voice growing loud.

A little surprised at his raised voice, I said, " You don't know that. I could beat him." 

He frowned at me, "You beat the one of the greatest sorcer's in the entire world? I don't think that's going to happen, Rose."

"Good to know you have some faith in me." I said sarcastically. 

He snarled at me, "It isn't a question about faith, Rose, Voldemort is older and has much more magical experience then you could ever imagine."

"I don't care." I said confidently.

"Your arrogant just like your father, and where's he now? Rose? He's dead!" Snape almost in a yell. 

He had a hit a nerve. Fast as lightening I had whipped out my wand and threw a spell at him. He quickly deflated and threw a spell back. And just like that we were dueling. 

I had my ring on my side plus all the magic the Dark Lord had taught me, Severus on the other had years of experience and all his encounters with dark magic.
