Little Do You Know

Ivy ran into the Room Of Requirements in fear as she closed the door and breathed heavily. Her chest felt as if it was holding rocks and her heart was beating loudly that her ears were starting to ring. She closed her eyes tightly to stop the tears from flowing, but it only made it worse as she sobbed. She then felt a heat take over her skin and she looked to see a fire burning in front of her and she gasped until someone grabbed her arms and they flew out and a body landed on her.

She gasped in pain as she held her head and looked over at deep brown eyes and sighed. "Ivy?" A soft voice asked and Ivy looked up to see Hermione's face.

"Hermione?" She asked and the girl smiled and hugged her.

"You're alive!" She yelled and then pulled away as she slapped her head causing her to hiss. "How dare you not tell me you were going away? I felt awful!" She yelled and ranted as Ron stopped her.

"We can do this another time, Hermione." He stated and the girl nods and glared at Ivy angrily. Ron then goes over to Harry as he nods over Ivy. "Look inside him Harry. Find out where he is and we can end this." Ron said and Harry nods while taking a deep breath.

Ivy looked over him as he looked in pain and held his hand. He squeezed it tightly and he started panting. He opened his eyes and looked over her. "The docks. He's by the docks." He confirmed and Ivy nods.

"That's close to where the potion fell. I'll be gone by then." She said and he nods while Hermione furrows her eyebrows.

"Potion what Potion?" She asked and Ivy rolled her eyes.

"I'll tell you later." And they ran off towards the Dark Lord as the bodies came into view. Ivy closed her eyes and stopped until she felt a hand reach down to hers. Hermione looked down and smiled sadly.

"Come on." She yelled and the girl nods while they ran, hand in hand.

As they reached the docks, they carefully hid behind the wall and Ivy could hear every single word as Severus spoke. Her eyes filled with tears as she wants to go after him and Hermione stopped her, shaking her head no.

"There is no wand more powerful. Ollivander himself said it so. Tonight, when the boy comes, it will not fail you. I'm sure of it. It answers to you and you only." Severus said and Voldemort looked over him.

"Does it? The wand, does it truly answer to me? You're a clever man Severus, you must truly know." Voldemort said dragging out his death.

Ivy closed her eyes and shut her ears, not wanting to listen to anymore as she soon heard banging above her and she whimpered as Hermione held her close.

Once she felt a tap on her shoulder she looked towards the window to see blood splattered across the glass and she held her mouth. She ran in and saw Severus taking in his last breath.

His eyes widened and she shushed him. "Don't speak. I'm going to help you." She sobbed and tried helping him only for him to shake his head and tears poured.

"Take them. Take them." He repeated over and over again as Harry gasped.

"Give me a flask. Anything." He said and Hermione handed it over as Harry collected the tears.

Severus looked over Harry and smiled. "You have you're mothers eyes." He said and then his eyes closed as Ivy sobbed.

She looked over the man who helped her one last time and cried into his chest.

Everything's was silent, until a pain washed over her and she screamed as Hermione held onto her. "Harry! Ivy!" She yelled and the she winced in slight pain.

"You have fought valiantly but in vain. I do not wish this, every drop of magical blood spilt is a terrible waste. I therefore command my army to retreat for their absence. Dispose of your dead with dignity. Harry Potter, I now speak directly to you. On this night, you have allowed your friends to die for you rather than face me yourself. There is no greater dishonor. Join me in the forbidden forest and consider your fate. If you do not do this, I shall kill every man, woman, and child who tries to conceal you from me." Voldemort said and Ivy gasped and looked over Hermione in pain.

She walked over to the spot of dropping her way home and saw the vile perfectly lying on a tile of cement. She picked it up and looked over The Trio in pain. "Y-you're going to win. Without me." She said and grabbed her vile looking over everyone.

"Goodbye." She sobbed and took a gulp and she was then thrown into a the spinning vortex again. She fell to the ground in pain and sobbed as someone gasped.

"Ivy!" They screamed and that's when she fell into darkness and allowed it to consume her.

Give me a break, so I didn't want her to kill the snake instead of Neville, but I got lazy. Sorry not sorry.
