The Last Horcrux (Harry Potter Fanfic)

Another Story

     She didn't talk to Malfoy anymore. She hasn't gone to tutoring since, but she didn't have a care in the world because Christmas break was approaching. She was waltzing through the halls when she saw a familiar face.

     "Albus! Hey, guess what! Malfoy told me the story of my mom. I have been looking for the twins everywhere. Did you see them?"

     "Stay away from that kid. My father told me a story too. Did he tell you about what horrible torture your mom went through? Oh, and no, I did not see the twins."

     "What?! You knew about my story too? How come you didn't tell me?!"

     "I couldn't find you, so I asked Raven, and she told me you were at tutoring with Malfoy. So I went to look for him the next day, and he asked me if I knew the story. Which, I was surprised to hear, because I would not have thought he knew. He told me to keep my mouth shut about it, but of course, I won't listen. I already know he told you the story wrong."

     "Please tell me! I need as much information as I can. Honestly. Plus, I knew it was off. He said Tom Riddle went to schol with my mom and your dad. That's not possible, right?"

     "Well, your mom was in the popular group. And there was this other person, who my father said was really powerful. His name was Alex."

     "Alex? Oh, well, Malfoy lied then. Continue."

     "And your mom fell for him. And he only agreed to be a couple if he could have your moms powers. She was so in love, she agreed. And with the torture he did to her, she fell out of love quickly. But he held her hostage for her potential. And she started to fall in love with your father. Alex was happy with her power, but he enjoyed seeing her suffer. After she was in love with your father, she was no longer suffering, because she knew that he was there to comfort her. Alex got so upset with your father, he threatened to kill him. Then he just went away. My father thinks he was expelled for something."

     "Wow! We have to go tell Octavia and everyone!"

     And so they did. They went to Octavia first, who was packing for Christmas break. They went to Raven, who was in the library, and they looked for the twins. They were nowhere to be found. But, it didn't bother Nicole. She didn't care about them. Things got very interesting when they went to go see McGonagall.

     "And you said his name was Alex, Potter?"

     "Yes Ma'm."

     "And was he in your father's year?"

     "Yes."

     "Albus, there was no Alex in your fathers grade." McGonagall started speeding up the talking.

     "You're not saying that... Malfoy might have been right, are you?" Nicole interrupted.

     "Nicole, I think you should leave the castle for Christmas break. If what he says is true, Voldemort is not dead! He never was! You cannot go back to the orphanage, either. He will know you are there. Go with Octavia, please! Oh dear, this cannot be happening... The Ministry was right!"

     And before Nicole went to pack her stuff, she saw a tear drip from McGonagall's eyes.
