Harry finally stopped the curse that was asphyxiating the death eaters and they were relieved that they were able to breathe once again, and Harry was about to do something else when someone apparated into the house.

It was a tired brown-haired witch and the moment she landed in the garden of the fidelius protected house she fell on her knees.

“Hermione!” Harry said desperately before he ran as fast as he could to help this universe’s version of his best friend.

“H-Henry…I did it!” She said before she collapsed and lost her consciousness.

Harry decided to leave the prisoners with the marauders and Frank Longbottom before he carried Hermione in his arms and brought her inside, Lily was walking behind him.

“Put her on the couch dear!” Lily told the emerald-eyed wizard who nodded furiously.

Soon they were joined by the rest of the younger generation.

“Mione!” Said Henry with his eyes wide open. “What is she doing here? If Snape finds out she’s here she’s going to get killed!” Henry was desperate.

“That’s what we want to know, we also want to know how she managed to find our location!” Lily said before she started to whisper some things on the younger witch’s body.

“Now that I remember, Uh…I guess that’s my fault,” Rose said a bit nervously.

“What? Did you give our address to someone working under direct orders of one of the death eaters from the inner circle?!” Asked Ron desperately.

“Yes I did, and I did it because I trusted her, I had forgotten I gave her our address but it's clear that she didn't betray us, she's not a threat to us, in fact, she’s fighting for her life right now!” Rose snapped at Weasley who was taken aback by the younger witch’s attitude.

Ron was trying to not look so offended but it was obvious how he was feeling, so, he decided to just snicker at the Potter girl.

“That’s what she’s trying to make us believe, I'm sure she's just faking it…We need to get out of here, this place has been compromised!” Ron was on the verge of tears.

“Ron…Ron…Ron!” Harry said as he slapped this version of his best friend.

“Thank you I needed—” Ron was about to say but Harry continued slapping him and shaking his body. “Alright alright, I get it!” Ron finally was able to get Harry off him and luckily the slaps stopped too.

“That was still very careless of you Rose,” Remus’ words suddenly made the younger girl hate herself.

He was her godfather after all, disappointing him was one of the worst things that she could think of doing.

“But…I gave her our address the summer before Voldy took over the world,” Rose tried to defend herself.

“What? That was years ago!” Sirius was finding this story hard to believe.

“Yeah, I gave her our address in case she wanted to visit us using the knight bus, it’s been years since she's had our address in her possession and before you hate me for not telling you guys before, I forgot about it,” Rose said as she caressed Hermione’s face.

“So, she has had the address of the family the dark lord hates the most in her possession and she never used it to her advantage?!” Remus’ eyes were dangerously big right now.

“Yes…Henry and I have been in contact with her because I befriended her on Facebook, and we play games online together, she hates Fortnite but she still plays with me from time to time,” soon all eyes went to the older brother who was trying to look everywhere but at them.

“Great…” Harry said with a serious expression. “I know I have no right to say anything, all of you know who to trust and who don’t, still, I think it’s best if I enforce the wards, a second layer won’t hurt anyone,” Harry said trying to cheer the people in the room.

Everyone nodded and encouraged him especially Ron who felt unprotected right now, Harry went to the garden and launched some spells in the air and it didn’t take too long for the home to get covered in a big dome of light, Harry gave orders to the wards to negate the magic of someone with a dark mark except Regulus Black.

He also configured the second layer of wards with the first one so the people from the order who weren’t present would have no problem entering once they got back, it would be really awkward if they got evicted because of that. After getting the wards ready Harry got back with the group.

He was surprised to see that Hermione’s body was glowing up, she was breathing desperately and her body suddenly started to shake violently, if anyone from the muggle could describe her it would be as if she were having a seizure.

“I think I know what’s going on!” Harry suddenly moved towards her and ripped the right sleeve of her shirt.

Everyone gasped as they found a ten-pointed star tattooed on her skin, inside the star was the face of a snake and the star was surrounded by two circles that formed some kind of ring, and the letter ‘S’ was written on the ring surrounding the star. But the most shocking thing was that the star was spinning around her skin and Harry knew that she was in pain right now.

“I don’t know why she was serving Snape but he placed that seal to kill her in case she decided to betray them, please step aside!” Harry told everyone and soon, he was given enough space to work.

*"Out…Get out…You don’t belong here…”* Harry spoke in parseltongue and he surprised everyone.

He was expecting the snake to leave peacefully but the thing dared to fight against him, in fact, the snake was dangerously showing its fangs.

‘If you want to do this in the hard way then that’s what you’re going to get…” Harry said angrily.

Soon he started to chant in Parselmouth with his wand on the seal on Hermione’s arm, the snake was trying to fight back the speaker who was clearly stronger than the enchantments that were placed on the seal, soon, the guests’ eyes opened wide once they saw a real snake coming out of the seal.

The tattoo suddenly disappeared and Harry had managed to extract the snake out of Hermione’s arm, the younger witch was now breathing normally. As for Harry, he had his eyes closed for a few moments and then, he sent a huge pulse of magic into the snake before it exploded.

Meanwhile, at a mansion, various muggle-born witches that looked like twenty-year-old Lily Evans saw how the snake seals on their arms disappeared, and this only meant one thing, it meant that their master Severus Snape was dead, so, all of them nodded before they looted the place, once they got everything they needed, they burned the house with fiendfyre.

Meanwhile with the dark lord and his inner circle…

“Severus, did you send the message? Why is that rat taking too long?” The dark lord clearly wasn’t pleased.

“I did it my lord but—” Snape couldn’t continue as he suddenly fell on his knees and started to scream.

Everyone except the dark lord stared at him with shocked expressions, Snape was screaming as if he were being tortured but the only person who usually tortured them was the dark lord but this time he wasn’t doing anything.

“Snape…Stop this nonsense now!” Complained Voldemort getting tired of this whole situation.

How could things end like this for him? Today he was supposed to crush Dumbledore and his minions and yet, it seemed like he somehow managed to get ahold of their plans, he was hopeful that he and his friends would jump at the chance of saving those blood traitors.
