Alicia Snape (Book 7)

Chapter 8

~Alicia's POV~

Godric's Hollow? What the hell?

"Um Harry? Why the hell are we here?" I asked curiosily.

"I think there may be the Sword of Griffin dorms here. Me and Hermione think it can destroy Horcruxes. First I want to see my parents grave."

I nodded not really wanting to say anything.

Once we got to their graves, I stayed a little ways back not wanting to bother.

I stood near a grave covered in snow and curiosity got the best of me.

I wiped the snow away and saw an odd symbol.

It was a triangle with a line going through it and a circle going around the line yet it still stayed within the triangle.

"Harry." I said without thinking.

"Yes?" He said closer than I thought making me jump.

Hermione looked down and said "Harry it's the mark."

He looked down and looked at it confused.

"I'm sorry? Have you two seen this before and not mention it?" I said.

"We have. We forgot to mention it. It keeps popping up. It was at Bill and Fleurs wedding around Luna's father's neck. Then it was in this book Dumbledore left to me. And now here."

"Dumbledore left you things?"

"Yes. The minister actually asked where you were. Said he wanted to speak to you. That was before he died of course."

"Doesn't matter anymore."

I heard shuffling behind me and I saw an old woman wrapped up in an old turban walking through the snow.

"Is that Bathilda Bagshot?" Hermione said.

"She lives here? In Godric's Hollow?" I said looking at her.

"Well yes. We found out through Rita Skeeter."

I looked back at the old woman and Harry started walking to her.

I watched as Harry and Hermione were walking towards her and I began to feel uneasy but I followed anyways.

Once he got to her, she asked him to follow her.

Hermione had this confused look on her face but shook it off.

He began to follow her to her house and I grew even more uneasy.

Once we got there, I looked through the house and Hermione followed.

I picked up a book that had Dumbledore's face on it and looked through.

"What is that?" Hermione whispered.

"Dumbledore's biography. The one Rita wrote."

I tossed the book to her and she began to look through it.

I walked into a closet and froze.

"Hermione." I said and all of a sudden we heard a crash downstairs.

"What was that?"

"Not sure. But Bathilda Bagshot is dead." I said pointing to the closest and running down the steps.

Once I got down the stairs I saw Nagini on the ground and Harry with a chair to protect himself.

I stared at the snake and began talking to her.

"Leave him." I said.

She looked to me and said "no. My master told me to do this."

I grabbed my wand and pointed it at her.
