Riddle-Lestrange

Chapter 52

Trixie's POV
I arrived in the Slytherin common room and removed the cloak,

"Pansy" I hissed gaining her attention, her eyes widened as she approached me,

"Lestrange, you're alive. We've all been told you were killed" she spoke in disbelief,

"Really? Strange. Anyway that doesn't matter now. I need to talk to the whole of Slytherin ASAP" I demanded, she nodded

"No problem" she agreed as she went to round everyone up,

"Oh and Pansy?" I asked, she hummed turning around, "Call me Trixie" I stated, she smiled and nodded before disappearing, after a couple minutes the whole of Slytherin was in the common room,

"Alright listen up!" I yell gaining everyone's attention, "As most of you know, Harry Potter was spotted in Hogsmeade half an hour ago, so that means Snape will be calling for a talk in the Great Hall. However, what he hasn't told you was that it was him who killed Dumbledore" I confessed causing gasps to erupt, along with mumbles, "Now I need your help to take down my Father, You-know-who and his followers. I know most of you will be scared to do so because your family members may be apart of his followers, therefore I'll give you the chance to stay hidden here away from anything that goes down, you'll be safe out of harms way but you'll also have to care for the other house members who don't want to be apart of whatever happens" I demanded, they all nodded before the common room door opened making my eyes widen as I weaved myself into the crowd next to Pansy, she handed me a Slytherin robe making me nod in appreciation as I put it on,

"Come along" A beastly woman demanded, everyone began to walk out of the common room following her as she lead us to the Great Hall, my eyes widened in horror as the lively atmosphere that had normally been here, was now just a memory, I stood next to Pansy and glanced over to Gryffindor catching Harry's eye and gave a slight nod which he returned,

"Many of you are surely wondering why I have summoned you at this hour. It has come to my attention that earlier this evening Harry Potter was spotted in Hogsmeade. Now should anyone, student or staff, attempt to aid Mr Potter they will be punished in a manner consistent with the severity of their transgression. Furthermore, any person found to have knowledge of these events, who fails to come forward will be treated as equally guilty. Now then..." Snape announced before walking towards the center "...If anyone here has any knowledge of Potter's movements this evening, I invite them to step forward now" He demanded, I let out a small sigh and made my way out causing everyone to gasp and Snape to turn around,

"Professor. Or should I say Headmaster?" I greeted before Harry walked out himself, I smirked and walked towards him ,"It seems despite your exhaustive defensive strategies you still have a bit of a security problem. And I'm afraid it's quite extensive" I commented as the Great Hall doors opened revealing the Order making me smile as I stood next to Harry,

"How dare you stand where he stood? Tell them how it happened that night! Tell them how you looked him in the eye, a man who trusted you, and killed him! Tell them!" Harry yelled, Snape pulled out his wand making my eyes widen as gasps erupted throughout the room, I pulled Harry behind me and McGonagall pushed me aside slightly behind her, withdrawing her own wand, making everyone scream and run to the edge of the hall, Snape lowered his wand slightly before gaining his stance again and McGonagall fired a couple spells at Snape, which he reflected on to the Carrow twins before retreating out of the glass window at the front of the hall,

"Coward!" McGonagall declared before turning around and lighting the hall up as everyone cheered, I smiled before turning around and running to Fred, I tackled him with a hug which he immediately returned, he pulled away slowly and raised an eyebrow

"Alright, don't be alarmed...but I'm pregnant..." I trailed off, his eyes widened

"What?!" He exclaimed as a smile appeared on his face before he pulled me in for a kiss, I pulled away,

"You're not mad?" I asked, he scoffed

"Why would I be mad? This is great news. Hey George, Mum, Dad!" He called over, they approached us, "We're going to be parents" He announced making their eyes widen,

"Trixie..." I heard Father whisper making me look around as the hall darkened and a girl began screaming, I approached her only for another to start screaming, "I know that many of you will want to fight. Some of you may even think that to fight is wise. But this is folly. Give me Harry Potter. Do this and none shall be harmed. Give me him and I shall leave Hogwarts untouched" Father announced before the hall lightened up again, I approached Harry

"What are you waiting for? Someone grab him" Pansy ordered, I pushed Harry backwards as Ginny pulled him behind her,

"Students out of bed!" Filch yelled as he ran into the hall making me raise an eyebrow,

"They're supposed to be, you buffoon!" McGonagall snapped,

"Ah right...I'll best be off" Filch trailed off,

"As it happens, Mr Filch, your arrival is most opportune. If you would, I would like you, please to lead Miss Parkinson and the rest of Slytherin from the hall" McGonagall asserted, my eyes widened

"Professor wait! Let me talk to Slytherin, should a war occur then the younger years and whoever doesn't want to fight can hide in the Slytherin common room and the Slytherin members, including myself, will protect them" I bargained, she hummed and nodded, "Thank you, Professor" I smiled before turning to the Slytherin students, "Now I understand what a lot of you are feeling at this moment, I mean it's my Father who's threatening us, my Mother won't be too far behind him. That's why instead of fighting I offer you to stay protected as well as protecting those of other houses in our common room, our sanctuary" I spoke, they all looked at each other and nodded

"We'll help you, Trixie. All the way" Pansy spoke as she stepped up to me, I nodded and smiled

"Very well. Can all first and second years follow Miss Parkinson to the Slytherin Common room, along with anyone else who would not care to fight" McGonagall announced to the hall as Pansy lead the Slytherin students to the hall entrance where the other students joined them, "That was very inspirational, Trixie" She commented making me smile,

"Thank you Professor" I said before going to leave, Fred stopped me and gave me a passionate kiss, I pulled away slightly breathless as he rested his head against mine "Be safe" I pleaded,

"Always am" he smiled,

"I love you" I confessed, his smile widened as he gave me a quick kiss,

"I love you too" he replied before I made my way down to the Slytherin Common room.
