Rosalie’s P.O.V
After hearing what Voldemort said to everyone, I couldn’t help but let my worry for Edeline grow as I know what will happen if she goes into the forest with Harry, “I’m not letting her go there Remus, I can’t.” I told him as I looked at her, “look at me Rosalie, look at me. I know you’re scared and I am to believe me and I hate myself for saying this, but I don’t think either of them has a choice at this point so I think we might have to trust them on this alright.” he said to me as he held my face in his hands as tears slipped down my face, “I can’t let her go Remus, I can’t.” I said as I began to cry a little harder before feeling someone hug me and I looked to see that it was Edeline before I hugged her back, “you know I have to go mum. It’s bad enough he started this and it will be even worse if he tries to kill everyone if we hide from him.” she told me and I had her look at me as we stood up, “you mean more to me than anything. I love you my darling girl. Your brother will love you too.” I told her and she smiled a little, “where is he anyways?” she asked me, “he’s with your grandfather.” I told her before the three of us left the three of us had left the Great Hall for the time being before we sat on the stairs for a while before seeing Ron and Hermione sit down next to us, “how are you feeling Ron?” I asked him, “I don’t know to be honest.” He said as we continued to talk for a while before hearing something and turned to see Harry walking down the stairs, “where have you been?” Hermione asked him, “We thought you went to the forest.” Ron told him as Harry continued to walk past us, “I’m going there now.” Harry said to him, “you’re not going alone, you’re not the only one he’s after.” Edeline said as she walked beside him, “are you both mad? No, you can’t give yourselves up to him.” Ron said to him, “what else can we do Ron? At this point I don’t think we have a choice.” Edeline told him, “What is it Harry? What is it you know?” Hermione asked him, “there’s a reason I can hear them and why Edeline can slightly hear them too. the Horcruxes, I think I’ve known for a while. And I think you have to.” Harry said before looking at me, “I’ll go with you both.” Hermione told him, “no, kill the snake. Kill the snake and it’s just him.” Edeline said before Hermione hugged the both of them and I couldn’t help but cry a little myself as I held onto Remus’s hand and once Hermione moved away from the hug, I rushed over to do the same and hugged both Harry and Edeline, “I love you both, do you understand? Whatever happens, don’t lose hope alright.” I whispered to them before I moved away from the hug to look at the both of them before letting them go as the both of them walked down the stairs to do what Voldeort wanted them to do before hearing someone rushing down the stairs and looked to see that it was Draco, “where is she?” he asked us, “she already left with Harry. Why are you just getting here now?” I told him as he let out a sigh, “we got separated during the fight.” he told me and I nodded and I walked over to him, “look at me?” I asked him and he’d done so, “she talked to me about the both of you and her feelings for you. Now, I want to ask you something, do you truly love her like she does you?” I asked him and he just looked at me as he thought of the words, “I know her and I along with the other’s didn’t get along from the start but ever since the Yule Ball, that’s when my feelings towards her changed. I didn’t say anything about them at first before the both of us started exchanging letters and agreed to keep it secret for the time being knowing how everyone else would react about it. But to answer your question, yes I do, I love her more than anything.” he said to me and there was a moment of silence before I smiled a little, before speaking, “if you do anything to harm my daughter, you will lose both hands, do you understand?” I said to him and he nodded, “yes Ma’am.” he said before I hugged him, “then I accept this relationship between you and my baby.” I said to him before moving away from the hug before Remus walked over to us before he held out his hand and both himself and Draco shook, “I would have to agree with my wife. If you do anything to hurt her, I will make sure that you’ll regret doing so.” Remus said to him as Draco quickly nodded, “I promise sir.” Draco said before we walked back to the Great Hall and sat down with the others for the time being.

          

Edeline’s P.O.V
Both Harry and I had managed to leave the Castle and make our way to the forest and as we made it into the forest, Harry had stopped walking and I had done the same wondering what he was doing, “what is it?” I asked him before he took out the Snitch from his pocket, “I’m ready to die.” Harry said and I nodded a little, “then I am too. But what if it ends up like the last time?” I said to him, “we’ll find out then won’t we.” he said to me and I let out a heavy sigh before he continued and kissed the Snitch before it opened before seeing what was inside, “is that what I think it is?” I asked him as I looked at it, “the Resurrection Stone” Harry said before he held it in his hand and from the corner of my eye, I noticed something appear and I looked to see Sirius, Aunt Lily and Uncle James, “uh, Harry.” I said to him before Aunt Lily held out her hand to Harry before he walked over to her and when he tried touching it, his hand went right through it and I walked a little closer, “you’ve been so brave Sweetheart. You both have.” Aunt Lily said to us and I froze a little not knowing what to do or say, “why are you here? All of you?” Harry asked them, “we never left.” Aunt Lily said to him, “does it hurt, dying?” Harry asked as he looked at Sirius, “quicker than falling asleep.” Sirius said to him, “you’re both nearly there son.” Uncle James said to us, “I’m sorry, we both are. We never wanted any of you to die for us.” Harry said to them, “we are trying to stop this. We’re trying to beat him for what he’s done to you and I’m sorry if we can’t.” I said to them as I started to cry a little, “you have nothing to be sorry for Edeline. We would have done it all over again and I know your mother and father would have done the same when he got to you.” Uncle James said to me as I tried to calm down, “you’ll stay with us?” Harry asked, “until the end.” Uncle James said to him, “and he won’t be able to see you?” I asked them, “no, we’re here you see.” Sirius said as he pointed to both mine and Harry’s chest’s, “Edeline, are you able to do something to protect the both of us like you did earlier at the Castle?” Harry asked me, “I think so. Do you want me to shield us or something?” I said to him and he nodded, “give me your hand?” I asked him and he’d done so as I grabbed it before using my power to shield the both of us, “it won’t be noticeable. It’s strong enough to protect us but we might be a little weak after Voldemort tries to kill us” I said to him, “will he be able to kill the Horcrux that was bounced onto me that night?” he asked me and I nodded, “yes.” I told him before looking at the others again, “stay close to us.” Harry said to them, “always” Aunt Lily said and I smiled a little, “Edeline” Uncle James called out and I looked at him, “Tell your mother I will always be with her and that I love and miss her.” Uncle James said and I smiled and nodded, “I will” I told him before they disappeared, “are you ready?” I asked Harry as he looked at me and he nodded before we continued to make our way to Voldemort.

After a while longer, we managed to make it to Voldemort as he stood facing his followers before he turned to face Harry and I, “why do you all look surprised? Did you think we wouldn’t come?” I asked them, “Harry, Edeline? No, what are you two doing here?” Hagrid asked us, “Harry Potter and Edeline Lupin. The Boy Who Lived and the Girl Who Got Away, come to die.” Voldemort said to us, “do what you must if that’s what you want so badly.” I said to him as I held Harry’s hand, “Avada Kedavra.” Voldemort said before striking us and felt myself fall to the ground only to wake up in a bright place that was all white before seeing that Harry was here as well, “where are we?” I asked him as the both of us stood up, “I don’t know” he told me, “I thought what I did would work” I said to him it might have, “for all we know this could be some kind of dream.” he told me, “possible, but there’s only one way to find out if we ever gain consciousness.” I told him as we walked before seeing something under one of the benches, “bloody hell, that’s disgusting.” I said to him before hearing Dumbledore speak up causing me to jump a little, “neither of you can help.  Harry, Edeline, you wonderful kids. Your brave, brave man and woman. Let us walk” Dumbledore said to us and we walked with him, “Professor, what is that?” Harry asked him, “It looks rather odd and gross.” I said to him, “something beyond either of our help. A part of Voldemort was sent here to die.” Dumbledore told us, “exactly where are we?” Harry asked him, “I was going to ask either of you that. Where would you say we are?” Dumbledore said to us, “looks like a train station.” I told him, “It looks like King Cross Station, only cleaner and without all the trains.” Harry told him, “Kings Cross is that right? This is, as they say, your party. I expect you both now realise if you and Voldemort have been connected by something other than fate, so said bidding in Godric's Hollow all those years ago.” Dumbledore said, “So it's true then sir? A part of him lives within me doesn’t it?” Harry asked, “did. It was just destroyed many moments ago by none other than Voldemort himself. The only difference was, he killed Edeline, who didn’t have that. You were the Horcrux he never meant to make Harry.” Dumbeldore said to us before we sat down somewhere, “we have to go back haven’t we?” Harry asked him, “oh, that’s up to the both of you” Dumbledore said to us, “we have a choice?” I asked him, “oh yes. We’re in Kings Cross you say? I think if you so desire, you’d be able to board a train.” Dumbledore told us, “and where would it take us?” Harry asked him, “on.” Dumbledore said before getting up before we heard something, “Voldemort has the Elder Wand” Harry told him, “true.” Dumbledore said, “and the Snake’s still alive.” I said to him, “yes.” Dumbledore said, “and we have nothing to kill it with.” Harry told him, “help will always be given at Hogwarts Harry and Edeline, to those who ask for it. I’ve always praised myself for my ability to turn a phrase. Words, in my not so humble opinion, are a most inexhaustible source of Magic capable of both inflicting injury and remedying it. But I wouldn’t in this case, amend my original statement to this, help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who deserve it. Do not pity the Dead Harry and Edelin, pity the living. And above all, all those who live without love” Dumbledore told us before Harry spoke up, “Professor, my mother's Patronus was a Doe, wasn’t it? it’s the same as Professor Snape’s? Just curious, don’t you think?” Harry asked him, “Actually, if I think about it, it doesn’t seem curious at all. I’ll be going now, Harry and Edeline.” Dumbledore said to us before walking away, “Professor. Is this all real? Or is it happening inside our heads?” Harry asked him, “of course it’s happening inside your heads, Harry. Why should that mean that it’s not real.” Dumbledore said before he continued to walk away, “Professor, what shall I do?” Harry asked him but he’d already disappeared and before we knew it, it all went away and I began to hear noises but stayed the way I was, “the children. Are they dead?” I heard Bellatrix ask as I heard Footsteps coming toward us, “is he alive? Draco, is he alive?” the woman asked and I realised that it was his mother as she asked both Harry and I this and I slowly nodded my head before hearing her stand up, “dead” she said to the others before feeling myself begin to float.
