Chapter 3:

Nights and days passed by while I was locked in that room. Everything appeared when I needed it, but I grew tired of being locked up there separated from the entire world. I grew tired of being alone and lonely, I grew tired of hearing myself think. I grew tired of the air itself in that…prison.

Things began to be clear for me over the days, looking out of that tiny window. I understood a little of what was happening outside my isolated prison, the dark mark that appeared in the sky after my first night there was a proof that the Death Eaters were invading the castle.

I had no clue what was happening. All I knew was that something was terribly wrong, because the dark mark was never taken away after that night.

I was scared, scared that I would never get out, scared that I'd get out and get killed, and scared that I'd get out and I'll be the only one that was there.

Looking out of the window, I saw a dark shadow appearing in the night sky. It was slowly forming into a man figure. He floated towards the school in a slithery way swimming in the air, as soon as I got a good look at him I jumped away from the window closing it.

I heard a lot about the awful look of him but I never imagined him to be this…Repulsive, the Dark Lord was entering the castle without a single barrier in his ugly face.

His image stayed carved in my brain for hours till I was distracted by the appearing of the door in the wall opposite of me.

It took me a second to realize that I can get out. I hesitated when I got to it. But I used my Gryffindor courage and opened it.

The walls were dark, and the paintings all looked desperate. Some were even crying.

I walked cautiously through the castle. I didn't find anyone. My heart was racing as I made my way to the only place that represented safety to me, the Gryffindor tower.

I could only hear my heavy breathing in the damp air. My mind couldn't work through all of what I saw.

The Fat Lady was ripped out of her place, she had on eye peeping through the fabric of her burned home. A tear made its way down her cheek as she blinked at me.

I was afraid to look inside, afraid to see what I knew I would. But I did, and the view was the most horrible thing I ever saw… the bodies of people I knew were shattered all over the damaged floor. The holes in the walls were so big that the walls itself were about to fall down .

I didn't know where to go. I just stood there gazing at what I saw.

Suddenly, I felt someone grabbing me from the back. I tried to fight against him, but I felt a hex hitting me. And I passed out.

When I woke up, I expected myself to be dead or at least broken on the floor, but instead I felt soft material underneath me. I got up quickly and examined were I was.

The walls around me were green with light silver carvings on them. The majority of the furniture was black.

The bed post had a green snake carved on it. So I figured I was in Slytherin.

I had absolutely no idea how or who got me there, so I went straight for the door, but when I reached for the doorknob, someone walked in. it took me a second to compose myself and step back. But as soon as I did, I saw his face.

"you're awake" he said to me in a not caring voice. I didn't answer. My mind had thousand of ideas at the same time, I couldn't think of what to say.

"Follow me" he commanded, and I didn't need any time to think before I said

"No"

"What did you just say?" he stared at me with a fierce look that I thought would burn a hole in my forehead.

"I said I'm not going with you anywhere" I said in a uncertain voice.

He grabbed my arm and dragged me behind him out of the room, I struggled against his pull but he was much stronger than I was.

"Please leave me alone, Jake ..please" I begged.

He stopped moving for a second and looked at me, I gave him my pleading look. He looked at me in a strange way and then he sighted and reduced his grip on my arm not letting go.

"I can't" he whispered in an agonizing voice leaving his poker face.

I stepped closer to him and whispered back

"What's wrong Jake" I put my free hand on his left arm and suddenly he bounced back hissing a curse .

I stepped back unable to believe what I just witnessed.

"No…no... please don't tell me that….no….it can't be…" I kept whispering in disbelief.

He gave me a look filled with guilt that only made me freak out more.

After a couple of seconds I regained my self control and I asked him in mere whisper

"Why?"

He just stepped closer to me a led me back to the door. I stopped moving when I got to the door and demanded "Not until you tell me why."

"It's none of your business, and you'd make it a lot easier on yourself and on me if you just walk."

I let him lead me out of the room and into the dungeons. He stopped just outside of a door he leaned down on me, I could feel his hot breath on my neck it made me tremble, he whispered in my ear with a delicate voice "Please do what he says and for god sake try not to get yourself killed."

I felt his cheek rubbing against my hair. I closed my eyes and leaned into him. We stayed like this for what seemed like eternity. I felt his hand wrap around me but we suddenly jumped away from each other at hearing his voice coming out of the door.

The look on his face was heartbreaking as he led me through the door.
