I watched as Professor Mcgonagall swished her wand and made the lights come on as people cheered and clapped for our fathers exit. Then suddenly the clapping stopped and it went colder, silent. Then an ear piercing scream that could send a shiver down even the bravest mans spine. I watched as Potter walked over to a young girl, a concerned look on his face.

Then I heard it, that whisper. I had heard it before. Voldemort, in my head, that voice. I shut my eyes and clutched my head as he spoke, it was like a nightmare but the most real nightmare ever.

I tried to shake the voice from my head but it didn't go, after several minutes of talking he finally ended on,

"Give me Harry Potter and you will be rewarded. You have one hour".

Then it finally stopped. I opened my eyes and saw everyone was looking at Harry, waiting.

Then Pansy Parkinson a fellow Slytherin spoke,

"What are you waiting for? Somebody grab him" she shouted as she pointed at Harry as she urged people to grab hold of him.

I watched as Harry Potter's followers crowded round him protectively.

Before anyone had time to react to what Pansy had said shouts of,

"STUDENTS OUT OF BED, STUDENTS IN THE CORRIDORS" were heard.

I turned to the entrance of the Great Hall and saw the blundering idiot Filch was running down the middle of the Hall, his cat clutched in his arms.

Mcgonagall sighed as she watched him run towards her,

"Their supposed to be out of bed you blithering idiot" she said lightly.

"Oh, Sorry Ma'am" he replied grimly.

"As it happens Mr Filch, Your arrival is most opportune. If you would I would like you please to lead Miss Parkinson and the rest of Slytherin house from the hall" she said walking down the hall.

"Exactly where is it I would be leading them too Ma'am?" he asked staring at Mcgonagall.

"The dungeons will do" she replied.

Then an eruption of cheers was heard.

It took me awhile to realise that they were talking about me. I was in Slytherin house. I turned to Emily frantically. I couldn't be split up from her. She was all the family I had now. Father could be dead for as much as we knew.

"Em" I said worriedly, my eyes stung and I was almost in danger of crying.

She turned to face me, clearly trying to think of something to do or say.

"Go, I'll come and get you. I promise it will be ok" she said.

I looked her in the eye, I knew she meant what she said but I was scared. She wasn't the one that was going to be locked in the dungeons with no way to escape.

I suddenly got pulled from behind and pushed towards the doors.

Then I felt a hand slide into my own. I looked down; I knew whose it was straight away, Draco's.

I looked up to see his pale face looking down at my own.

His pale grey eyes weren't sparkling today; they hadn't done for a long time now.

"Draco" I said, I could feel my voice breaking as I spoke.

He just held my hand tighter in reply. With him, I felt protected.

Filch was leading the way down to the dungeons, the further down we got the more scared I felt.

I could hear yells, screams and rushed heavy footsteps from above us.

My head was whirling around; I could barely walk in a straight line. I was too busy thinking about my family.

"It will be ok" Draco said firmly, letting my hand drop and putting an arm around my shoulder instead.

We were all forced into one room; a door with bars went down as the last Slytherin was forced into the cramped room.

Filch was now holding a lamp, his cat now by his feet.

He stood there for what seemed like an eternity, smugly guarding us.

Draco was stood next to me. No one was talking, just silence as we listened to the shouts and noises above us.

Then clearly getting bored of guarding, I watched as Filch got up and walked closer to the bars.

Pansy, Blaise and Goyle who had been clutching the bars and trying to break free somehow, had now stopped as they watch the caretaker approach.

"Nighty- night" he mocked as he gave a nasty grin.

"Let us out you filthy squib" Pansy shouted in disgust as she watched the old caretaker hobble away.

Then suddenly an enormous explosion was heard.

The bars began to shake as did the walls around us, then smoke started to creep its way around us. I was near the back of the cell so I could barely make out what was going on. I saw shapes running forwards suddenly.

The bars had been broken.

I turned to my right where Draco had been, but he had now gone.

I ran forwards following the others lead.

As I left the room I stopped, frantically trying to see who was who in the smoke.

Then an arm yanked me to the side, I snapped my head up to see Draco. I could barely see his face as he pulled me forwards out of the smoke.

I watched as he yanked back the back of someone's robe. The person stumbled backwards and then he let go and grabbed someone else back as they were about to run past us.

The two people he had grabbed turned around and I saw that they were Blaise and Goyle.

Draco then signalled for them to follow him as he gave my hand a squeeze and then pulled me once again in his direction. I looked up at his face as we ran, his teeth were clenched and his hair was clinging to his face, if this had been any other situation but this one we were in I would have found this look extremely attractive.

I then focused back to where we were running, there seemed to be no one here, just pieces of stone and wall that had been knocked to the floor.

After a good several minutes of running at a fast pace, Draco stopped behind a pillar.

He put out an arm in front of me so I knew not to go past; he turned to me and put a finger on lips as to signal not to speak. I nodded sharply to note that I understood.

Goyle and Blaise were behind me, I could feel their uneven breathing as they tried to keep quiet.

Then suddenly Draco said,

"Come on" and yanked me up from where we were crouching down.

He led us down the end of the corridor and then let go of my hand as he stood looking at the blank wall at the end of the corridor. I turned to glance behind, Goyle was smirking and Blaise was just staring blankly at the wall.

Then a door appeared and Draco waved a hand to follow him and we obeyed as a door appeared on the wall and opened.

Draco took out his wand, although technically it wasn't his.

I looked behind again to see if Blaise and Goyle had their wands out to, they did. I reached into my cloak pocket getting out my own wand and holding it outwards, shielding me from the dangers we might happen to face.

We slowly and quietly walked around the crowded room. Endless piles of random objects filled the room. This was certainly the biggest room I'd ever been in. You could probably play Quidditch in it, it was that big.

Then a noise was heard ahead.

Draco put his arm out again in front of me.

We waited; a slight shuffle was heard again. Then Draco led us round a corner, his wand still firmly in his hand and his face cold and menacing.

"Well Well" I heard Draco say, he sounded almost pleased.

As I turned the corner I saw Harry Potter standing holding what looked like a tiara.

"What brings you hear Potter?" Draco asked.

"I could ask you the same" Harry replied, clutching the weird tiara thing in his hand tighter.

"You have something of mine" Draco snapped, as he readjusted his wand "I'd like it back"

I frowned up at Draco curiously. I had no idea what was going on. I maybe Draco's best friend but I certainly didn't know what was going on.

"What's wrong with the one you have?" Harry asked, letting his hands slide down to his sides.

"It's my mother's" Draco answered. I looked up at him, if I hadn't of known Draco well, I would have said that he looked intimidating but as I did know Draco I knew that he was petrified underneath all this bad man shell he's still a little scared kid on the inside,

"It's powerful but it's... not the same"

I looked back at Draco, he smirked. Not taking his eyes off Harry "Doesn't quite...understand me. Know what I mean?"

I felt Blaise move closer to me. It was a comfort to me to know that we outnumbered Harry who was clearly a very powerful wizard.

"Why didn't you tell her?" Harry suddenly asked looking directly at Draco.

I frowned in confusion. I didn't like not knowing what was going on.

Draco frowned,

"Bellatrix" Harry said.

I saw Draco flinch out the corner of my eye.

Out of the corner of my other eye I saw Blaise glance at Goyle confused but Goyle was looking straight ahead.

"You knew it was me" Harry continued "You didn't say anything"

I noticed that Goyle and Blaise had moved considerably closer to Draco.

Goyle and Draco's shoulders were now touching. I moved in around him as well, coming up to his other shoulder and brushing my arm against his so he knew I was there. Blaise stood a little further back but was still close.

"Come on Draco"

I heard Goyle whisper, Draco moved his head slightly to the left where Goyle was stood, his eyes flickered with worry.

"Don't be a prat. Do him." Goyle then hissed.

Draco flinched again then went back to facing Harry once more.

"Easy" Draco said as he edged closer to Harry.

Goyle and Blaise had now retreated to being behind Draco. I remained at his side.

Then suddenly,

"Expelliarmus!"

Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley flew round the corner, closely followed by...Emily.

I stared as Draco's wand zoomed across the room and landed in a pile of rubbish.

Draco fell backwards, half onto me and half on Goyle.

"AVADA KEDAVA"

I heard Goyle yell as he directed his aim towards Hermione.

Draco had now recovered from the trip and pushed past Goyle and Blaise and ran backwards and around a stack of chairs and clutter away from the brawl.

I gave a look at Emily and then turned and ran after Draco.

I heard Weasley yell something as me and Draco rounded another corner.

I could hear Goyle trying to catch up with me and Draco but we were faster than him.

Clattering could be heard.

Then another even louder noise was heard, I looked behind me and to my horror saw a giant trail of fire heading towards me.

"Draco" I cried out.

Hearing the utter panic in my voice he turned around and soon saw what the problem was.

He grabbed my hand and ran even faster turning corner after corner.

We then bumped into Weasley who was running in the same direction and screaming at the top of his voice.

"GOYLE SET THE BLOODY PLACE ON FIRE!" He screamed in terror as we saw him run past Harry, Hermione and Emily.

He grabbed Emily and Hermione's hands on the way past.

Then Draco turned away from the direction Emily and the others were running in and starting dragging me another way.

Draco then stopped suddenly as he saw Goyle waving his wand around angrily as he attempted to make more fire.

Blaise was stood behind him, fear plastered all over his face.

Draco without hesitation ran forward, our hands still joined, over to the pile of chairs and tables where Blaise was stood and started to climb them.

He gave me a leg up first, as I then pulled him up. Blaise was next to us also climbing his way up the stacks of items.

Draco kept missing his footing and I was terrified he was going to fall.

I looked behind me to see Goyle was now trying to climb up as well.

The fire had now consumed the whole floor and if we fell then you were pretty much toast, literally.

Emily was the top of my concern now; I had no idea if she was safe.

Suddenly a yell was heard,

I looked back and to my horror I saw Goyle plummeting to his death. I watched in horror as the flames consumed him.

Then a repeated pattern of nudges on my arm forced me to return my attention back to the climbing. Draco was slightly ahead of me now.

We were nearly at the top. I wasn't afraid of heights but it looked so unstable it was ridiculous.

Draco had managed to make it to the top where he was holding on for dear life.

He risked throwing out a hand to pull me up but I refused to take it, that one little jolt could cause him to fall.

I managed to make it up to the top on my own.

It was more than a squeeze as me, Draco and Blaise huddled up the top.

Then the most terrifying thing happened.

The table that the three of us were currently stood on toppled over causing the three of us to fall.

I panicked as I fell then I stuck my arm out and latched myself onto a piece of wood that was wedged in the middle of the pile.

To my relief I saw Draco and Blaise land next to me as they also held onto various objects.

But my worries were far from over as our feet had no support.

I struggled to keep hold of the shiny piece of wood. It was slippery and extremely hard to hold onto.

Draco was pushing himself up with his elbows.

We managed to scramble our way back up the heap.

Next thing I knew, Potter, Granger, Weasley and Emily were heading towards us at full speed on brooms.

I turned to Draco who reached out an arm frantically trying to grab hold of one of them as they flew past.

I did the same, my arm reaching out for someone to hold.

Then suddenly I felt the relief as my hand touched another.

I was reached off the heap and swung around onto the back of a broom.

I could tell Emily was the one who had saved me as I could tell from her auburn hair that it was her.

"Thank God I have a sister" I muttered thankfully.

"You're welcome" I heard Emily reply.

I then turned to look at the others brooms, all of which were bare.

"Where are Draco and Blaise!?" I yelled so that the others could hear me.

"We have to save them!" I yelled again.

I saw Ron shaking his head.

"We can't leave them" Harry yelled.

"If we die for them Harry I'm blaming you" Ron yelled as Harry did a U-turn heading back.

Emily did the same, as did Ron and Hermione.

This time Harry did manage to grab hold of Draco's hand and he safely put Draco on the back of his broom.

Ron had grabbed Blaise and Hermione was leading the way through the falling piles and flames.

The door was in sight and as Emily dodged a falling stack we all landed with a thud on the other side of the door.

All of us turned around to see the doors closing, but flames with Voldemort's face on where rapidly coming towards us.

I automatically grabbed hold of Emily's arm and Draco's as I watched.

The doors slammed with a close just in time.

As the doors gave a final slam, Draco suddenly broke loose, as did Blaise and ran off.
