Rose (H.P. FanFic) 4

Chapter Twenty One

Almost like a trace do I rush off. 'Come Rose.' Not really knowing where I was heading, just having the urgency to get to the destination. 'Come to me.' I was to weak to fight back, he had drained my magic, my energy when he broke the barrier.

I exit the castle, where the battle was. Spells flying but I don't pay mind. Any spells directed at me I deflect as I continue to my unknown destination. 'Very Good.'

The boat house, out by the edge of Hogwarts grounds. Why here? I'm more hesitation with my movements now. I slowly walk to the entrance walking into the building, hearing voices talking. I stop behind a column to hear what was going on. But they had stopped.

"It seems our guest has arrived." a familiar voice says. Almost like the full effect of the trance that was over me broke that I realize just what was going on... No... He brought me here. Something moves by my foot, I slowly look down to see the snake, his snake, looking at me threateningly. "Come out dear." he says.

With a reluctant sigh, and move from the wall, the snake following behind me. Stepping into the room I see Voldemort, who was looking at me with a terrifying smile, and Severus who was looking at me with fear in his eyes.

"Ahhh, young Rose. So glad for you to finally join us." Voldemort says, gesturing for me to walk further into the room. Slowly I do.

"Why am I here? Why did you bring me here?" I ask keeping my voice steady. Voldemort barely moves his hand and my wand flies out of hand, landing on the ground away from me, leaving me disarmed.

"My Lord?" Severus speaks up, looking confused.

"Oh, yes Severus. You see, I know of her power, her prophecy. And I know of your attachment to this girl. So tell me... The wand. Does it truly answer to me?" Voldemort questions, walking around Severus, towards me. He walks behind me, trying to be subtle but I notice his wand pointing at me the whole time. "You're a clever man, Severus. Surely you must know." he tells him. "Where, Severus? Where does its loyalty lie?" Voldemort asks, placing his hand on my shoulder. Just like that time in the Ministry, making me tense.

I make eye contact with Severus and see him tense as well. "With you, of course, my Lord." Severus responds to him, looking away from me to him.

I feel the hand on my shoulder grip tighter, "Do you know, Rose, why the Elder Wand would not answer to me?" Voldemort asks me, raise the wand up so it was at my throat now.

I let out a shaky breath, "Maybe, it's because you're not it's true master." I say smoothly despite the nerves I felt.

"Very good, very clever. Shame you weren't in Slytherin." he says making me flinch a little. He moves away from being behind me, to be a bit in front of me, between Severus and I.

"The Elder Wand belongs to the wizard who killed its last owner. Ollivander was quite explicit about that. You killed Dumbledore, Severus. While you live, the Elder Wand cannot be truly mine." he says ominously.

My heart sinks. No... "You have been a good and faithful servant, Severus. But only I can live forever..." He tells Severus. 

He lifts his wand at him, "No!" I shout, taking a step forward to stop him, but he moves his hand, seeming like he sliced at Severus throat, causing me to scream. "NO!"

"Nagini kill." Voldemort instructs, and the snake attacks Severus. I freeze as I watch Severus  fall against the window as she continues to attack him. "Nagini. Come." he says. She stops, slithering away, both of them going past me, disappearing.

I run to Severus. "No no no. Stay with me. Please." I whisper, as tears stream down my eyes, putting pressure on his neck wound. The door opens and Harry, Hermione, and Ron enter. Harry rushes to my side.

Severus looks from me to Harry as tears slowly fall from his eyes. "Take them." he tells Harry. I look to Harry and see him confused, "Take them, please." he tells him again.

Realization crosses Harry's face. "Give me something! Quickly! A flask! Anything." Harry says to Hermione. She digs in her bag and hand Harry a vial.

I look back to Severus and see Harry bottle a drop of his tears. "Take them to the Pensive." Severus whispers. Harry nods, getting up towards the door.

He stops and looks to me, "Go." I tell them, and they listen. I lift up my hand, "Accio wand." I whisper and my wand flies to my hand. Shakily I raise it, but can't think of any healing spells.

Severus lowers my hand that had the wand, "I'm sorry." he whispers to me.

More tears fall down my face, "No, you can't die. You're my father, my family, please." I whimper, closing my eyes, keeping myself from letting out a sob.

"Look at me." he requests, and I do so. "Thank you, for everything." he says to me, raising his hand to my cheek, whipping away my tears, "I love you, my darling daughter." he says softly, his eyes closing and his hand falls.
