So You're Back?: A Snape Love Story (Under Major Editing)

Chapter Twenty-Two

EVERYONE WAITED IN ANTICIPATION FOR RASABITHS SECRETS AND SURE ENOUGH THEY WERE SPILLED. "TOM RIDDLE IS MY BROTHER. WHEN I WAS YOUNGER HARRY AND I WERE BEST FRIENDS WHILE HE LIVED WITH THE DERSLEYS. I BEOUGHT BACK PEOPLE FROM THE DEAD. PEOPLE LIKE FRED, LUPIN, LUPINS WIFE, TOM, SNAPE, AND DUMBLEDORE." THERE WAS A PAUSE AND A GULP THEN SHE SAID, "I AM IN LOVE WITH SEVERUS SNAPE, I GUESS I HAVE A THING FOR DEATH EATERS." AFTER THAT SHE GRABS HER NECK TRYING TO EASE THE PAIN.

SHE DID NOT WANT TO LOOK AT SEVERUS BUT SHE KNEW HE WAS LOOKING AT HER, EVERYONE WAS. EVERYONE LOOKED AT HER IN SHOCK FOR THE MANY DIFFERENT THINGS THAT SHE HAD JUST SAID, MINUS THE BROTHER PART.

BARTY ON THE OTHER HAND IS REALLY MAD, THAT SHE DOESNT LOVE HIM, THAT HE YELLS, "THATS IT?"

HE WHIPS OUT HIS WAND AND SENDS RASABITH FLYING THROUGH THE AIR. NOT EXPECTING IT AT ALL. AND BEFORE ANYONE CAN DO ANYTHING. RASABITH PUTS A FIELD AROUND THEM TO WERE ALL THEY COULD DO IS WATCH. SNAPE TRIES TO GET OUT OF IT BUT DOESNT SUCCEED. HE LOOKS AT CORRESAUNDRA.

"WHY ARENT YOU TRYING TO GET OUT OF THIS." HE SAID ANGRILY.

"THERE IS NO USE. WE CANT HELP HER EVEN IF WE WANTED TOO." CORRESAUNDRA SAID SOUNDING DEFEATED.

"WHY?" HE ASKED, MAD.

"BECAUSE WHEN SOMEONE HELPS HER SHE BECOMES PROTECTIVE OF THAT PERSON BECAUSE SHE KNOWS THAT THE PERSON SHE IS FIGHTING WITH WILL KILL WHATEVER THE PERSON THAT HELPS HER. ITS HER ONLY WAY OF MAKING SURE THEY ARE SAFE." SHE EXPLAINED. SHE IS WORRIED ABOUT HER SISTER BUT AT THIS POINT SHE CANT DO ANYTHING.

BARTY AND RASABITH START WHIPPING SPELLS AT ONE ANOTHER. BOTH FLYING AND BREAKING THINGS. RASABITH BROUGHT OUT HER WHIP SHE GOT FOR CHRISTMAS. SHE WRAPS IT AROUND BARTY'S NECK AND THROUGHS HIM AGAINST THE WINDOW. THEY CONTINUE TO FIGHT AND FIGHT. RASABITH WAS DOING ALOT OF LIMPING. BARTY DID A FEW CURSIARTIS CURSES ON HER. SHE SCREAMED IN PAIN.

GINNY CAME IN AND SAW THAT HE WAS USING THE CURSE ON HER SHE BROUGHT OUT HER WAND, HARRY TRIED TO YELL TO HER NOT TO HELP BUT SHE COULDNT HEAR HIM. SHE MADE HIM FLY ACROSS THE ROOM. SHE SEES WHO HELPED HER SHE GRABS GINNY AND DRAGS HER WITH HER.

"WHY DID YOU HELP ME? YOUR NOT SUPPOSE TO HELP ME. ONLY ONE PERSON IS GOING TO DIE TODAY, AND ITS NOT GOING TO BE YOU." SHE LOOKED AT HER WITH IM WORRIED ABOUT YOU NOW LOOK. GINNY JUST GULPED SHE DIDNT KNOW WHAT TO SAY.

"SO YOU IGNORED YOUR OWN RULE. DID YOU NOW RASABITH? OF COURSE NOW YOU KNOW IM GOING TO HAVE TO KILL HER."

"NO!" HARRY YELLED AS HE FELL TO THE GROUND CRYING.

"NOT TODAY." RASABITH WHISPERED TO HERSELF, GINNY ENDED UP HEARING HER THOUGH, JUST PRETENDED NOT TO.

"AVADA KADAVRA!" BARTY YELLED.

IT WAS AIMED AT GINNY. STOOD UP STRAIGHT WAITING FOR THE HIT TO COME BUT IT DIDNT. SHE OPENED HER EYES TO SEE THAT RASABITH THREW A FORCE FEILD AROUND HER. SHE SAW THE SPELL DEFLECT OFF THE SHEILD. THE REST HAPPENED BEFORE SHE COULD BLINK. THE SPELL HIT THE SHIELD THEN BOUNCED OFF AND HIT RASABITH. SHE TWIRLED AROUND SCREAMING IN PAIN AND TRIPPED DOWN THE STEPS. SHE WENT TUMBLING DOWN THEM AND ONCE AT THE BOTTOM SHE CLOSED HER EYES AND BREATHED HER LAST BREATH. AS SOON AS HER LAST BREATH LEFT HER THE FORCE FEILD HOLDING EVERYONE WAS LIFTED.

HARRY RAN TO GINNY, WHILE SNAPE RAN TO RASABITH. RASABITH'S FAMILY RAN AND KILLED BARTY WITH ONE FATAL SWOOP. AS SOON AS THAT WAS DONE HER FAMILY WENT BACK TO HER. CORRESAUNDRA SECRETLY SAW SNAPE LEAVE IN TEARS, DISAPPEARING TO ONLY HE KNOWS WHERE. SHE COULDN'T HELP BUT FEEL BAD FOR HIM. HARRY CAME OVER AND KNELT NEXT TO RASABITHS BODY AND LOOKED AT HER THEN TO HER SISTER.

SHE DIDNT SAY NOTHING BUT HANDED HARRY A LITTLE BALL, "BREAK IT." SHE ORDERED HIM.

HARRY TOOK THE BALL AND BROKE IT. A WHITE MIST CAME OUT AND FLOATED IN THE AIR RIGHT ABOVE EVERYONE. EVERYONE WATCHED HER MEMORIES UNFOLD.

IT SHOWED HER AROUND THE AGE OF FIVE WITH HER TIGHT CURLS THE NIGHT HOW SHE WAS THERE WHEN LILY AND JAMES DIED. AFTER TOM KILLED THEM SHE CAME BACK HOURS LATER AND TRIED TO CALM HARRY DOWN. AS SHE WAS CALMING HIM DOWN SHE HEARS FOOTSTEPS COMING HER WAY SO SHE HIDES IN THE CLOSET. WHEN SHE OPENS THE DOOR A CRACK SHE SEES SEVERUS HOLDING LILY'S BODY WHILE CRYING.

IT SWITCHED TO WHEN SHE WAS FRIENDS WITH HARRY. IT SHOWED HOW THEY WOULD HANG OUT, PLAY GAMES AND SWING ON SWINGS. SHE PROTECTED HIM WHEN HIS COUSIN WAS PICKING ON HIM.

"YOU KNOW RASABITH YOUR FRIENDSHIP MUST COME TO AN END WITH THAT BOY." HER SISTER TOLD HER WHILE PLAYING WITH HER HAIR.

"WHY SISSY? HE'S MY BEST FRIEND." SHE ASKED WHILE LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW AT HER FRIEND.

"HE IS DESTINED TO KILL YOUR BROTHER."

SOON ENOUGH MISSING FLIRES WERE UP EVERY WHERE. SHE WATCHED AS HARRY PUT TEHM UP.

IT SWITCHED TO A FEW YEARS LATER WHEN SHE WAS OLDER. SHE STOOD ON THE BALCONY WITH HER LONG, CURLY, BLONDE HAIR FLOWING IN THE WIND. SHE NOTICED HER SISTERS SAD EXPRESSION AS SE WALKED OUT TO TALK TO HER.

"THE WAR WILL HAPPEN SOON WONT IT?" SHE ASKED.

"HOW DID YOU KNOW?"

"I HAD A FEELING." THERE WAS A PAUSE, "I WISH TO LEARN HOW TO FIGHT."

IT SHOWED HER TAKING THE MANY AGING POTIONS.

IT SHOWED HER WATCHING HARRY AS HE WALKED THROUGH THE FOREST TO MEET THE DARK LORD. SHE SAW HIM DROP THE RESURRECTION STONE. AS SOON AS HE WAS GONE SHE RAN OVER AND GRABBED IT.

SHE WATCHED FROM A FAR THE DAY HER BROTHER DIED AT THE HANDS OF HARRY POTTER. IT WAS THAT SAME DAY SHE CHANGED THE STYLE OF HER HAIR.

THE DAY AFTER HER BROTHER DIED SHE WENT TO CLEAR HER HEAD AND WONDERED AROUND THE BOTTOM OF THE CANNON. OUT OF NO WHERE HALF OF THE ELDER WAND HIT HER IN HER HEAD. SHE SOON FOUND THE OTHER HALF AND TOOK IT WITH HER AND HAD IT PREPARED.

IT EVEN SHOWED HER BRAKING INTO HARRYS HOUSE AND STEALING HIS CLOAK.

"WHAT HAPPENED TO HER?"

CORRESAUNDRA THEN ANSWERED, "I GAVE HER THE CHOICE . . ."

"NO I MEAN WHAT HAPPENED TO HER." MORE UPSET.

"SOME PEOPLE JUST END UP GETTING LOST ALONG THE WAY." SHE LOOKS DOWN AND STARTS CRYING.

HARRY GETS UP TO GET THE WAND, STONE, AND CLOAK. HE KNELTS DOWN ONCE AGAIN NEXT TO RASABITHS LIFELESS BODY AND DRAPES THE CLOAK OVER HER. HE THEN ATTEMPTED THE SAME SPELL RASABITH DID. THE STONE TIRNED THREE TIMES AND HARRY WAVED THE WAND. NOW ALL THEY COULD DO WAS WAIT. EVERYONE HELD THEIR BREATH.
