Lost In Harry Potter

My End or Is It

I wrote on the wall and walked back into the chambers to meet Riddle in person. 

"Its done."

"Good," he said as he came out of the book that I had placed on the floor.

As weak as I was I still glared at him. I was slowly falling to the ground as he began to drain more life from me. 

"I hate to see such a beautiful thing die."

I smirked, "I hate to see such an evil creature win.  Oh but wait he won't."

I fainted and felt him place the book on me. I did not know what would come of me. When I woke up I saw Harry and noticed his arm 

"Oh Harry, why?"

"You are my best friend, Beth."

"But now you are hurt. I told you not get hurt. You promised me."

"He told me how you tried to fight him."

"He was too strong. I really did try to stop myself from doing those things, Harry."

"So the last time we spoke this was the warning you tried to give me. Beth, we really need to work on your warnings."

We both laughed but it was cut short when he felt pain in his arm. He tried to get me to leave him behind and find Ronald. Fawkes came and healed Harry with his tears and I smiled at Harry as he explained to me about the Phoenix tears powers. We walked out of the chamber and found Ronald and professor Lockheart. I smiled and run to Ronald hugging him shocking both him and Harry.

"Ronald, you fool why would you help Harry to come save me? I am grateful but it's not like we are family or even friends yet."

Ronald rubbed the back of his head and said, "Mom would have murdered me if I didn't protect her goddaughter. So you are family."

Fawkes carried us out the rest of the way. I was taken to the hospital wing to get checked and both Harry and Ronald were taken to Dumbledore's office. Dobby came to me as I laid to rest.

"Dobby is free. Harry Potter freed Dobby."

I smiled at him and began to cry unsure of how to feel about him. He continued to jump on my bed with glee.

"Dobby?" I called as I sat up.

"Yes, Mistress."

"You're free Dobby you do not have to call me that. Just how upset was father?"

Dobby walked up to me and hugged me, "You will always be Dobby's mistress. Miss...Elizabeth."

"You know about my real parents don't you Dobby?"

"Yes, Dobby knows your truth."

"Can you tell me?"

"No, Dobby cannot say"

I nodded in understanding and watched him leave as my brother walked in.

"You almost died, Liz," he stated.

I looked at him not knowing what to say or how to look at him. 

"Tell me the truth did father really order you to do this?"

"No," I replied as I noticed something to the side of Draco move.

"Then why lie to me and our Uncle? You still had the mark on you didn't you?"

Sighing, "I lied because I wanted to save a little girl. Yes, I still had the mark on me when you tried to show our Uncle. It was a curse that could not be removed it was slowly controlling me and draining me of life."

Happy with my replies he left to get ready for bed once he was past the doors I turned to where Draco sat before.

"Are you happy with my answers as well."

"How did you know?"

"Only you would dare to take Harry's cloak to get answers from me, Ronald. Besides you hit my book when Draco got to close to you for your own liking."

"What girl were you talking about saving?"

"Can I truly trust you, Ronald? What I tell you can't be repeated and you cannot get angry."

"Yes, you can trust me. But getting angry that I cannot promise."

I nodded in understanding that this is as good as it gets with him.

"The girl I saved was your sister. Before you get upset nothing happened to her but I changed her path slightly by doing this. Hermione and Harry know my secret so I am trusting you with it. I know things that will come to past." 

"That  is why you talk in code with them."

I smiled at him, "Why did you help Harry find me? I mean I know that we have been better towards each other this year."

"You told me to show you how loyal I can be to Harry so I thought this would count."

I was about to ask him something else when the door opened to the hospital wing and Harry walked in. Ronald pushed the cloak onto the floor to hide that he had it. When Harry reached us Ronald left to go check on Hermione.

"I am happy to see you two getting along." he said with a smile before dropping it, "Why did you do it?"

"Harry, I did it to save Ginny. The things I saw...I thought I was strong enough to fight him off."

"Hey, look at me. You were strong because you were able to still give us clues. Hermione figured it out that it was you.  She wrote it all down, Beth."

I turned to look at Ronald and Hermione, "That clever girl." 

"Beth, I need you to promise me something."

I turned back to look at him confused.

"Promise me, Beth, that you won't put yourself in danger again."

"Oi! I only did it this time so that my godmother didn't have to worry about her daughter."

"But you did." said a voice from behind Harry. 

Ginny walked over and handed me a Howler. I looked at both of them scared to open it. But it did it on its own.

"ELIZABETH ANDROMEDA MALFOY, HOW DARE YOU PUT YOURSELF IN HARMS WAY LIKE THAT WHAT WOULD HAVE YOUR TRUE PARENTS THOUGHT OF YOU FOR RISKING YOUR LIFE LIKE THIS. But thank you for saving Ginny my dear, child. But I cannot lose you either."

I had tears in my eyes again because I had no idea that she cared so much for me. Then I thought about the name she said. 

"Ginny, why did she call me Andromeda when my middle name is Hart."

"I don't know but you might want to ask her."

She hugged me and went to get Ronald to leave with her. He gave me a look that told me to keep the cloak safe from Harry. I nodded and I turned to Harry smiling as he asked me to continue writing to him over the summer holiday.  When he finally left me I picked up the cloak and put it in the bag that Draco had brought for me.
