Chapter 53: Going to the Underworld

Christmas Day was marked by problems. Before being able to reach the evening of December 25, the city was attacked by Death Eaters. They knew that everyone would have their heads turned to the party. They then carried a violent blow to the whole troop by attacking force in the middle of the city. Certainly, they did not know its every nook; however, the guests came for the holidays either.

It was then instinctive, Hermione screamed to all the inhabitants of Storybrooke to go home. She refused to let them get involved in a war that was not theirs. There were already enough people forced to participate in the fighting in the eyes of the young woman. The crush was in order; nobody really knew where to go. Snow, David and others wanted to fight, but they were far from the size of the Death Eaters.

- You have to distract them while all the inhabitants of the city can hide! Hermione yelled at her companions of the Order.

- You have to circle them! Everyone can take refuge in the shops! Remus added between two spells.

They then tried to apply Remus' strategy without much success. However, the fighting had managed to attract the attention of the attackers enough so that everyone could be safe. Regina and others were refugees at Granny's. She grumbled that she could not help her daughter, it was the first time she had regretted being pregnant. Robin could only take her hand to try to calm her down.

Magic was coming from all sides, yet no one seemed to take over on one side or the other. Hermione unleashed all the magic she possessed, including her side of darkness. It was a good time to let her energy go out after all. Little by little, she could feel all her power increase. She liked it and it showed. Henry could only fear that his companion would lose control. He could not let her sink.

- I go ! He shouted to Belle with whom he was hiding in the library.

- Henry ! Waits !

The brunette did not have time to hold him by the arm. Henry was already outside and rushing headlong towards Hermione under the amazed eyes of all his relatives. The Gryffindor was too busy fighting three enemies to pay attention to him. Bellatrix had indeed noticed the concentration of the young woman and decided to take advantage of it.

- Avada Kedavra!

Hearing these words, Hermione turned around quickly enough to notice the green flow coming out of the witch's wand. Waiting for the spell to reach her, it was interrupted on its way by Henry who intervened. He was then hit hard by the death spell. At the other end of the main square, Sirius suffered the same fate from Lucius's hand. The former prisoner had diverted attention to Henry and Hermione for a split second.

Hermione then jumped on Henry but noticed with horror his lifeless face. She did not wait a second longer before heading for Bellatrix. Listening only to her own anger and want of murder that she did not want to contain, Hermione snapped her opponent's neck. She felt real joy as she let Bellatrix's corpse fall to the floor. Caught in horror at the sight of the corpse of their partner, the other Death Eaters then fled.

- Henry ... I beg you ... I ... Cried the witch gently, kneeling on the dead body of her companion.

She could feel a wave of anger and hatred invading her again. Hermione was angry with the entire world for the death of the one she loved. She mostly blamed herself. To have hoped for a trouble-free vacation was far too idealistic. According to her mind, she should have understood that they would be a target too easy.

- No ... Not that ... sobbed Regina followed closely by Emma.

The two women collapsed in tears in the arms of their respective companions. All were crying over the young man's loss. The English were crying, on their side, the loss of Sirius, their friend or even best friend for Remus. Belle, like Hermione, was crying for them both. It was inconceivable to lose them.

Letting her anger outward, streams of magic came out of Hermione's hands and her whole body. Reflexively, they moved away from her. It was Henry who was in the best position to calm her down.

- It is totally out of the question that they die. Neither of the two.

- Hermione, we can not change things ... began softly David who barely hid his tears.

- Yes, we can and I will! She stated.

They all looked in her direction. Nobody understood what she was talking about. After all, it could only be the words of a bereaved young woman. However, her assurance awakened hope for some.

- Explain yourself. Just asked Remus, in a very small voice.

- Every soul, at its death, must find a certain rest before it can advance and totally disappear. While waiting for this precise moment, it is like stored or trapped.

- Where ? Molly questioned.

- In the Underworld ... And I'll go get them, even if it's going to take me all my life.

Suddenly, it was everyone who found hope. Emma and Regina dried their tears together. Snow had proved to them that this feeling was capable of miracles. A small group then went up to descend to the Underworld to recover the two men. Group consisting of Emma, Hook, Regina, Remus, Ruby, Belle and of course Hermione. Snow and David stayed in town for its protection. The Weasley and Harry had to go home to warn of possible Death Eater attacks in the future.

- Are you sure you should come? You are not very far from giving birth and ... began Robin.

- I stop you right now, my son is in the Underworld, my daughter wants to go get him, I will not stay there to stress. It would not be better for the baby.

Robin realized he could not argue about that. Hermione had to stand on character. He nodded and everyone gathered around Hermione, waiting patiently for new instructions from the young woman.
