Ravenclaw Against Gryffindor!

Chapter six: His last moments

They captured him. He's yelling, as he knows that a life without a soul is at hand.

"PADMA! I LOVE YOU! I NEVER MEANT TO KILL PARVATI!"

It was just a load of nonsense. I still loved him. And he would always be the father of my children, but he was also the one that had ruined my life.

Parvati wasn't the only one he had killed. He had also killed several Muggles on You-Know-Who's behalf. To proof his worth to his Master! If only he could have taken the side of good...

But that was talking afterwards. That was so easy. Penelope is standing next to me. She knows by his crying screams that I was his mistress. That she hadn't been enough to satisfy his needs. Not nearly enough, considering what he had done in the name of You-Know-Who!

"PADMA!"

"You lost every right to call me!" I said icily. "But there is one thing I need to tell you before the Dementors take your soul away. The twins aren't Ron's. They're yours!" I laid all my hatred for him in those last words." Seeing the shocked look on his face was oh so worth it. He finally had something to live for, but he only found out a few minutes before he couldn't enjoy it anymore. He was a father of twins. Parvati and Paul were both part of me and part of him. It didn't matter that I had asked Penelope to be the kids' godmother, he didn't know. But at least Penelope now understood why I had asked her.

I left the room and stood behind the glass, Penelope soon joined me. The rest of my in-laws were already standing there.

The Dementor entered the room that Percy was in. It lowered it's hood with it's scabbed hand. Ready to kiss!

***

My husband Percy; there he is! He cheated on me... with Padma, Padma Patil, for Merlin's sake! He procreated himself with her... he has two wonderful children. He will never know them.

I will be their godmother. The godmother of my husband's children... I was supposed to be their mother, I was supposed to have his children, not his mistress. A mistress that is now married to his brother.

I know Percy made some stupid decisions. But I never knew he was a Death Eater. If I had know I would never have married him. Even if I loved him as much as I do now. He did the right thing in the end. That's what counts. He didn't deserve to die like this, he doesn't deserve to die as an empty shell.

I loved him, I still love him... after everything that has happened between us. I'll never carry the child of my husband... soon I'll be a widow. A widow at my age... I'm much too young to be a widow! I could cry, but I won't I'm a strong woman, I will get through this one way or another. Maybe I will get myself another Weasley. Charlie... Yes, that is an option. That way I'll be far away from the living reminders of my late husbands deceit, far away from his lies.

***

I'm here seeing my lover for the last time. The Death Eaters are upon me. She's here. She's going to watch my soul being sucked out of me. I'll only be a shell. My mother hates to see me like this, but this is the path that I have chosen. My soul dies, but my genes live on.

Padma told me, her twins aren't Ron's... they're mine. How could I ever doubt my darling Padma.

Penelope. She's here too. She knows now about Padma and my twins. This is all I wanted to say to her. I've done what I had too. I surrendered myself to the arms of justice. The Dementors like to kill, like to suck the life out of a person. I'm paying my price; the price for choosing the wrong path!

My wife and my mistress have left the room. I see them standing next to mum, dad, Bill, Fleur, Charlie, Fred, George, Ron and Ginny. I see my twins... for the first and last time.

They are coming. I don't want them to come. The door opens again... a Dementor. Not all of them are under the Dark Lord's command. This one was loyal to the Ministry. I see his scabbed hands lowering his hood. I look in horror at the mouth beneath it. I feel all cold. There are no happy memories only the few years that I served the Dark Lord. I...
