Was I Meant for This?

Chapter 27

Once I had my bags packed, it was already noon “My dear are you ready to leave?” I had just walked into the living room when Voldemort walked in as well.

I levitated my trunk to my side when Minni disapparated with it, I then turned to Voldemort and nodded “F-father how long am I staying there?”

“Until Potter shows up and you destroy him.” I felt a lump in my throat and grabbed a hold of his arm.

We were pulled through the air and landed in a dusty torn down room, I looked around and noticed an old woman standing in the doorway. “Ahh very good Nagini. I don’t think Potter will know the difference between you and the real Bagshot.”

Voldemort turned back to me and glared “You will try to destroy Potter once and for all. I will have Nagini lure him to you, but if you so dare to disobey me. Well we shall not speak about it because I know you will not let your father down.” he disappeared into smoke on the spot.

I turned back to Nagini, but she was gone; I couldn’t help but think how great of a Christmas I am going to have waiting for Harry to show up. “How do we even know he is going to show up? He is smart enough to know that my father is waiting for him in such an obvious place.”

I heard a hiss right beside my ear “There is nowhere else for Potter to go. This is where he was born and almost killed, he is bound to this place.” I stayed perfectly still knowing that Nagini would attack if I so much as tried to harm her in any way.

I walked into the next room where I found my trunk and placed it in an empty room; I sat on a dusty bed wondering what I would do in this place by myself. I decided to take a walk around Godric’s Hollow, as I walked in the foot deep snow I came upon a cemetery.

I went through each row of tombstones even though I didn’t know why I was so intrigued to know who was buried here; once I got to the back I noticed a big tombstone with two names inscribed into the gravestone. I bent down to see the names and noticed they were Harry’s parents, but what caught my eye was the gravestone right next to theirs.

I slid over to see the names and wanted to sit in the snow and cry “In Loving Memory of Craig and Linda Thompson” I sat in the snow and felt my cheeks start to freeze from the tears that stained them. I conjured up a wreath of lilies for Harry’s parents and a wreath of roses for mine as I placed the wreaths against the gravestones I heard a pop in the distance.

I got to my feet quickly and hid behind a tree, I peeked out from behind the tree and noticed two figures in the distance “That can’t be Harry there is only two people and I know for sure that all three of them are together.” I whispered quietly to myself.

As the figures got closer to me I heard them talking and I knew right away that it was Harry and Hermione, but I couldn’t help but wonder where Ron was. I slipped from behind the tree and made a break for Bathilda’s house when Nagini came into view as Bathilda “Harry’ss here, I can feel him.” she hissed to me.

I only nodded and headed back to the house and waited for you to lure him back here. Once I was inside I hurried to the room that my trunk was in “What am I going to do? I didn’t think he would actually come here. Harry you are so stupid for coming here.” I kept telling myself as I paced in the room back and forth.

I knew I only had a little bit of time before Nagini would have Harry and Hermione in the house, I thought of what I would do to help them without raising Nagini’s suspicions. I heard the door open downstairs and thought quickly to make myself invisible; I started to slowly walk downstairs when I caught sight of Nagini luring Harry towards the attic. When they were out of sight I walked down to where Hermione was left by herself, I noticed that she was looking through a book with Dumbledore’s picture on it.
