Fire and Passion( Sequel to Potter and Farron)(Completed)

22. The Ministry

Juliet's POV:

   We were all walking quietly as we made our way to the department of mysteries. Ced had his hand in mine. The last couple of weeks have been hard on him. I've been so focused on helping Nikki we haven't had much alone time. " Harry how much further?" I ask. "I'm not sure." He says. "Yeah because that really helped us Harry." Nikki says sarcastically. Ever since Fred left she's had some attitude towards everything and seems to enjoy glaring at things whether they are alive or not. "Sorry." Harry whispers. " It's alright Harry..." I say placing a hand on his shoulder. "Thanks sis." He says as we continue to walk. I smile at him. Ced squeezes my hand. He kisses my cheek. I close my eyes relishing his touch. We hadn't been very physical lately because most of my time is spent with Nikki. " Jay you ok?" Ced asks. I open my eyes. " Yeah..." I lie. Truly I wasn't. I hated to think that he might feel left out. "Your lying." Nikki says not looking at me but looking at her surroundings. " I'm not..." I say. Ced raises an eyebrow. "Sure..." Nikki trails as she seems on high alert. " Jay what's going on?" Ced asks. " I just miss you that's all..." I say. He sighs. " I get why we haven't had much time... How about after this we just take a couple hours to ourselves?" He suggests. " I would like that..." I say. " I'll give you a nice message..." He says and then nips my ear with his lips. I bite lip to hold in my moan. "Can you two wait until after?" Nikki asks sounding annoyed. I glare at her. " Ok what's your problem?" I ask. She just seemed even more off then usual. "Nothing. I just want to do what we have to do here and get out." She says still on high alert. I sigh. We walk on. " Hey guys over here! Harry, Juliet this has your name on it!" Neville says. Harry and I walk over. It in fact had our names on it. I pick it up. A wispy voice begins to speak.

"The ones with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approach ... Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies ... And the Dark Lord will mark them as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not ... And either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives ..."

  Harry and I both look at each other. "What does that mean?" Nikki asks. " I have no fucking idea..." I say just as confused. "Well then we should figure it out." Nikki says like it's obvious. That's when I hear something. We all get into a protective stance. I slide the prophecy into my bag. Two figures come out of the dark. They are both wearing masks but I recognize them. Shit. An animalistic growl ripples from my throat almost on instinct. Nikki looks in slight pain as she glares at one of the two. I push her protectively behind me. I crouch down. " Well... Well... Well..." The one I recognize as Lucius Malfoy says. "Look what we have here..." The other I've learned to know as Nicolas says. " Back off Nicolas... I'm not afraid to take your head off..." I say in a growl. "You think you scare me. I can tear every limb from you body without a problem." He says glaring at me his eyes turning black. "It's kinda true..." Nikki whispers. Not helping. " I'd like to see you try... I've already out smarted you once..." I say. I glow my eyes like they do when I'm about to phase. "Juliet back off." Nikki warns in a whisper. "You should be scared of me Potter... You could never kill me." He says. "No but I could." Nikki speaks up. I shoot her a look. " I'm not afraid of you Nicolas..." I say. "Well then your going to get yourself killed." He says smirking. He teleports in front of me and reaches for my neck. Nikki grabs his wrist causing him to scream out in pain. Her hands are bright red. Nicolas stumbles back grabbing his now dangerously burnt wrist. Everyone stares at Nikki with shock. " Look who's scared now..." I say smirking. ' Nice one Nik...' I insert in her head. 'Thanks.' She thinks. "You don't stand a chance against me Nicolas! Give up now!" Nikki says glaring at him. "You seem to have forgotten that I can take control of your mind." He says smirking. He stares intensely at Nik. She suddenly falls to the ground screaming in pain. I get to work immediately and fight him. Like before I win. She stops screaming. "You should give me that prophecy Potter." Lucius says holding out his hand. "If you do anything to us she'll break it." Harry says.
