After Nova cracked the Void Barrier, it caused a small explosion. He then heard, \"Speak to me, Slytherin, greatest of the Hogwarts Four.\"

Nova then tossed Lockhart at the person who was speaking as a small distraction, and as he walked into the room he saw a familiar basilisk starting to slide out of the mouth of the statue.

\"Hello Celes.\" Nova greeted her.

Hearing Nova the Basilisk then turned to face Nova, and gave a snort and started to transform. Soon a woman as beautiful as a celestial goddess appeared in the room. She was just a Nova remember, except a few crucial details. Nova saw a bright green poison coursing through her face making it look like it was breaking and her soul had the same green poison radiating from it. Neither of which was a good sign.

\"Celeste? Are you not going to greet your master after so long?\" Nova said. \"I am assuming something happened in the Void for you to be here in this realm. And judging from your size and the skin shed, you must have been here for at least a thousand years. What did Samuel do to you?\"

\"Lord Samuel has instructed me to kill Master. So kill Master I must.\" Celes said. She then clenched her head in pain. \"No, I cannot kill Master. Yes. . . No.\"

\"Basilisk kill them.\" the tall black haired boy interrupted.

Nova turned his gaze to the boy and narrowed his eyes, \"Parasite. So you are the cause of all the turmoil in the castle.\"

\"I am no Parasite! I am Lord Voldemort!\" The Parasite raged.

\"It doesn't matter. I see you are leaching off the Weasley girl. Shame. Well you can die as well.\" Nova said. He then waved his hand and the soul fragment on the diary and the link it had with Ginny were erased.

\"What is happening! This is impossible. NOOO! Basilisk I order you to kill-\" The Parasite exploded in a flash of particles.

\"Well glad that is over.\" Lockhart said.

\"Kill Master. . . Obey Lord Samuel.\" Celes was muttering.

\"Not even close.\" Nova stated. \"Harry, Ron get Ginny out of here. Luna here take this wand Little Red will know what to do if need be.\"

The three did as Nova said and started to leave.

\"Come on Celes. Snap out of it. I don't want to do this with you.\" Nova said, as he started to walk towards her.

\"Master kill . . . Kill Master.\" Celes' body was having a series of shakes go through it. Nova could tell she was trying to fight it, but her soul was weak from the poison in it, slowly being corroded.

\"My dear little Celes, I know you can fight this.\" Nova said, putting his hands on her shoulders looking into her eyes.

\"KILL!!\" Celes yelled. She then grabbed Nova's arm and threw him towards the entrance.

Nova was thrown with enough force to go through the wall and saw Harry, Ron, and Luna, \"Change of plans. This is not going to go well. Get McGonagall. Have her clear out the castle now, I will try to stall for some time.\"


Nova then opened a tear in space and shoved them through it into the castle. With them gone, Nova jumped back into the Chamber.

\"Celes! I don't want to do this. Be a good girl and we can go watch the sun rise.\" Nova said. But as a response Celes transformed into her serpent form and screamed at Nova.

Nova then breathed a ball of fire at Celes, which she deflected with her tail. Which ironically enough was deflected into Lockhart, who was hiding behind a rock, and just went poof when the flames hit him. But neither Nova nor Celes even realized he was even there.

Now Celes's Serpent form was too large for the Chamber so she lunged at Nova and while in mid lunge turned back into her human form and punched at Nova.

\"Celes, please snap out of it.\" Nova said. He held up his arms across his body as she hit him sending him flying through the air. Nova didn't want to fight Celes.

\"You don't want to do this Celes. You won't be able to win. I don't care how well Nemea trained you.\" Nova said.

\"Lord Samuel wants you dead Master. I must kill you.\" Celes screamed, as she kicked Nova up into the ceiling. Now since she wasn't holding back, it caused Nova to go through the rock like mud.

\"You need to wake up. You won't last much longer. You are putting too much stress on your soul.\" Nova yelled at her.

\"Die!!\" Celes raged and hit Nova again causing him to break through into the Great Hall and caused the wall to crumble onto Nova.

\"I am trying to help you Celes.\" Nova said and started to transform into his dragon form as he stood up from the rubble.

When Celes came up, she too transformed and her Serpent form broke the other walls. Nova then lunged at her and tried to grab her but Celes out maneuvered Nova and started to try and coil around her.

\"What happened to the Little Girl that didn't want to be used. Well Celes? Or the little girl that said she was going to be the Serpent Queen?\" Nova roared as he ripped her off of him and threw her into the CourtYard outside.

\"Master die!\" Celes yelled. She then swung her tail and knocked him to the other side toward the lake. But before he could land, Nova twisted around in mid air, and looked down.

He could see that the students and teachers were in boats on the lake, seeing them there Nova knew the castle was empty and watched as Celes started to coil around the castle towers.

\"Celes. You need to stop, I can create something to heal you. You need to calm down.\"

\"DIIIE!!\"

Nova then watched in horror as her soul pressure increased, \"NO! Celes stop. You can't burn your soul! It is too damaged.\"

\"Master kill Samuel. . . Kill Master\" Nova could only watch as Celes soul ignited. He had no real way of stopping her. She only really listened to Astoria.

Having that thought, Nova pulled out the Diadem, \"Come on Astoria. I know some part of you is still in there. Celes is about to die. I really need your help!\"

But the Diadem remained silent.

\"Mistress is dead. And you abandoned me to Samuel.\" Celes cried.

\"Celes wake up!\" Nova roared as he breathed a ball of flames at her sending her crashing back into the ground below.

\"ASTORIA!\" Nova roared at the diadem. As Celes lunged up at Nova and hit him causing the diadem to fall. Then suddenly the diadem exploded with light and flew towards the boats causing four pillars of light to erupt. As Nova landed on the ground with Celes, and started to pin her, as they had both reverted to their human form.

He watched as the four pillars joined to become one. As the light died down, Nova saw the golden sunset silhouette of a woman appear. Shocked by what he saw he lost his grip on Celes, who promptly hit him away.

Upon seeing the form, Celes screamed out and charged forward, \"KILLL!\" The silhouette just raised the wand that was glowing like a soft sunset and made a slashing movement with it. As that happened an orange crescent blast flew through the air and passed through Celes. The blast sent Celes flying into the rubble at the edge of the Lake..

As Celes tried to stand up, she fell over and started to cough up blood that was green and poisoned looking. Celes now had a large gash across her chest that was bleeding profusely.

\"CELES!\" Nova then rushed over to Celes and tried to stop the bleeding. But there was little he could do. Taking a glance at her soul, Nova felt a lump form in his throat. The poisoned look was gone but all that was left was a small flickering light.

\"Little one I need you to stay awake.\" Nova said. \"Astoria can you do anything?\"

\"No, My Love. I am barely able to maintain this form. These three hosts are too weak to maintain my consciousness in the diadem and wand. I have only a few minutes.\"

\"Mother. . . Is that you?\" Celes mumbled.

\"It is my little serpent.\" Astoria kneeled down to Celes.

\"Mother, I missed you.\" Celes weakly.

\"And I you.\" Astoria said, golden drops of light started to hit the ground.

\"Mother, I'm cold. Will you hold me?\" Celes' voice began to crack. Nova had since shifted Celes into his lap as he tried to stop the bleeding, and felt her tears fall onto his hands.

\"Yes.\" Astoria then sat down and leaned against Nova and Celes. Then as the three sat there, Astoria, began to sing:

Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star/ How I wonder what you are/ Up above the World so high/ Like a diamond in the sky/ When the blazing sun is gone/When there nothing shines upon/ Then you show your little light/Twinkle Twinkle all the night/ Then the traveler in the dark/ Thanks you for your little spark/ He could not see the way to go/ If you did not twinkle so/ When the blazing sun is gone/ When there is nothing to shine upon/ Though I know not what your are/ Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

As Astoria sang, the tone of the song got sadder and sadder. The sound of her song travelled across the world and not a single person had dry eyes. Nova had his eyes closed, as he held Celes in his arms, he let the sorrow and melancholy of the song go through him.

As the song came to a final sad note, the sun began to peak up over the horizon and the sky was filled with the warm morning light.

\"Ah Master, Mother, look it's the sunrise. It is so beautiful.\" Celes said softly.

\"Indeed Little One. It is.\" Nova choked.

With that, Nova watched as the last flicker of Celes' soul extinguished, as she closed her eyes one last time with a gentle smile on her face.

Right as Celes passed, Astoria also faded leaving only three girls, a diadem, and the wand on the shore next to Nova.

Unable to take any more, Nova let loose a mournful roar that caused the world to shake and the sky to turn dark as rain began to fall.
