Chapter 4
-1-
“So here we are, dark and gloomy as always” Sirius said. “What did you need from here?”
“Besides the knowledge that the library holds, I need the house elf.”
Sirius did not question for now. “KREACHER!”
“Blood traitor master called?”
Sirius was about to throw an insult back, but Roxana stopped him.
“Kreacher, I need Regulus locket, I know how to destroy it.”
Kreacher’s eyes widened.
-2-
Of course, Roxana had to explain to Sirius about the Horcruxes.
In the exchange of making a magical vow with her about not uttering a word about the horcruxes and her plan.
“Besides Harry, I am the only one who can stop Voldemort, this is a war that I am trying to stop, and there is no way I will let Harry do this, who's better to kill him than his own blood ?”
-3-
Sirius admired Roxana for her bravery and determination, but he was worried.
And he can feel that she is not telling him everything.
Seven Horcruxes, but what is the seventh?
-4-
Roxana did not go to the Quidditch world cup, but she did contract the New Zealand Quidditch team about their Phoenix, he had a female, and they were waiting for eggs, a female phoenix gives lays four eggs and all of them are fertilized, she paid a large amount of money for one of the eggs.
Now she just has to wait.
Besides that, stayed in Grimmauld place searching for anything she can use.
She found a lot of books about curses written by the Black family, one worse than the other.
But what interested her more was the Black collection of goblins made weapons, she took the only sword in the collection and daggers.
“This should be useful.”
-5-
Peter Pettigrew escaped from Azkaban!
“I'm about to murder someone.” Roxana’s eye twitched as she read the article.
She should have seen this coming.
But…it’s necessary unfortunately.
-6-
“So how is your life with Sirius, Harry ?” Roxana asked.
“Oh! It is good, he just um…”
“Weird ? Funny ?” Roxana smirked.
“Has the tendency of pranking me early in the morning.” Harry said.
Roxana chuckled. “Sounds like Sirius”
The boy looked relaxed, being pranked, and having fun is better than being screamed at like when he was with the Dursley.
-7-
They were hosting the Triwizard Tournament this year.
Roxana did not bat an eye when Harry’s name came out of the goblet.
-8-
Cedric Diggory dies.
Voldemort returns.
And Sirius faces her.
“You knew.”
“I did.”
“Why didn’t you save him.”
There wasn’t any kind of emotions in his voice.
“One death or million deaths Sirius, I am not a god, I'm just playing the role of one, this war is a chess board where checkmate is not where the game ends if I do not make the right move.”
“So that is what we are to you ? Chess pieces ?” Sirius frowned.
“You did not have a problem with this when it was Dumbledore who did the plans last war, you were also his pawns, but the difference between Dumbledore and I is that I will sacrifice just one pawn to end this game in two moves”
Sirius did not say anything, he wanted to…but deep down he knew.
He knew she was right and he hated that.
-9-
Finally seventeen, the trass was gone from her wand, and now she can anything she want to.
She opened the chamber of secret and called the Basilisk out.
“Sally, come here.” Roxana said in parseltongue.
The basilisk came out in all her glory.
“Open your mouth, I need your venom.”
The basilisk or Sally as Roxana likes to call her obeyed and opened her mouth and let her venom drop on the goblin sword Roxana had with her along with one of the daggers.
“I will get you out of here again, you liked scaring that man in Knockturn Alley last time didn’t you ?” Roxana smiled.
“Yes~”
“It was a good experiment…it proved me that the runes around your eyes worked”
-10-
Dolores Umbridge just took third place in Roxana’s hate list, forget about that liar professor they had he is now in fourth place.
Roxana muttered a spell under her breath as she healed the first year Hufflepuff muggle-born hand, the poor girl was crying and just a door away from a nasty panic attack.
I must obey my betters
Despicable woman !
“Hurting children, how despicable, wait till I put my hand on you Dolores Umbridge, I will make you regret the day you were born !”
-11-
Roxana walked a good long distance away from the school wards accompanied by Sally, she gave a last look at Hogwarts before apparating.
-12-
“Did you bring the egg ?” Roxana asked.
“Oh ! Yes ! Yes ! We were lucky the female laid five eggs ! Rarely happens ! We brough one as you asked.” The man said nervously.
“Thank you, you did me a great service.” Roxana said and put a bag of galleons in front of him. “This is the other half of the payment.”
Before the man could thank her Roxana already waked away.
She could not walk around with a basilisk without an antidote in hand, she was not an idiot.
-13-
It took a month for the egg to hatch.
Roxana welcomed this baby phoenix and named her Helia.
Caring for the little baby bird like she was her own daughter.
That night she emptied the Lestrange Vault from everything that was in it in her magical suitcase, bewitched with an Undetectable Extension Charm.
-14-
Fiendfyre came out from the tip of her wand, it took the shape of her animagus form, it was big, red, and angry.
She does not fear.
She does not hide.
She already tasted fire.
The war that will break would be harsher than this spell.
She kept herself calm and controlled Fiendfyre successfully.
The soul pieces screamed as they vanished, the horcruxes were finally destroyed.
The resurrection stone was the only thing that survived in that fire.
And Roxana took it, claiming it as hers.
-15-
She returned to Little Hangleton and waited until Nagini came out of the house away from the wards.
Once Nagini was deep into the forest Roxana took out her sword and stabbed the snake before it could attack.
