As Harry saw the light, he was able to see himself. There were ropes binding him from head to toe and there were about 100 layers of duck tape around his mouth. How was he going to escape? And with that note, Harry realized that one of the knots of the rope around his arm was loose. He was able to undo the rope, then free his arm and untie the ropes around everywhere else in his body.

Harry untied himself, took off the tape on his mouth, then walked over to the door. He tried opening it but was locked from the outside. There was no way to get out. It was probably locked by magic. Right then, Harry got an idea.

Harry used all his strength to make as much racket as possible in the room. He knew that with all the noise he was making, someone was going to come to see what he was doing and to see if he was trying to escape, but no worries; this is what Harry wanted.

As Harry predicted, someone had come running to his room. Harry hid on the side of the door. The door was then blasted open as an ugly Slytherin girl had come running in the room with her wand at the ready. Without hesitating, Harry jumped at her and forcibly took her wand from her hand. Then, with the wand in his hand, Harry yelled "Silencio!" The girl tried talking but no words came out. Harry then conjured up some ropes and started tying her up.

He was in the middle of tying her up when he heard some footsteps coming his way. Harry hid behind the door again when 2 guys walked in the room.

"Hey Millicent, what happened?" said one of the guys. Without pausing, Harry jumped from behind the door and stunned both of them. With those 3 taken care of, Harry ran out the room to try and rescue his friends and get away from the whole Slytherin lot…

Harry ran through many passageways. He guessed that he was under the Slytherin common room and that the passageway he was in was a secret passageway. Harry had no idea where he was going, but by an awkward coincidence, Harry ran passed a closed room where Hermione and Ron were and an instant relief came into Harry; Hermione and Ron were alive. But then who was the one that died?

Ron and Hermione were both sitting in chairs tied up to each other with a gag in both their mouths; they were both awake and looked very scared. Harry ran to the door and yelled, "Bombara!" and the door blasted open. There was already someone inside. Harry stupefied him and he walked over to Ron and Hermione.

"Oh thank God!" said Hermione as her gag was removed. "We thought you were dead."

"Well, I'm not dead." said Harry. "But someone is..."

"Bloody hell!" yelled Ron. "Who?"

"I dunno," said Harry. "But let's go before the Slytherins catch us. Oh my God… is that my wand?" He said pointing at a wand.

"Yes," said Hermione. "That Slytherin was using it. Said it was a powerful wand." Harry was very happy when he heard this. He took the wand then he, Ron, and Hermione left the room.

They all ran the hall, wands at the ready. They ran passed another room which held captive Ginny and Luna, who were both tied up but very much alive… which meant that the person who died was Nev…

"Potter!" yelled the voice of Draco Malfoy. "You escaped, I knew you would. But it was a waste; because after all, you are all gonna die right now. AVADA KEDAVRA!"

Green light shot from the end of Draco's wand but Harry deflected it by yelling "Expelliarmus!" At that moment, Harry heard a blast from behind him. He turned around to attack whoever it was that was causing it, but it was only Hermione blasting opening the door to the room which held Ginny and Luna.

Hermione ran to them and yelled, "Reducto!" at the ropes which then tore off. Ginny and Luna ran outside the door, grabbed their wand, and at the same time, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and Luna yelled "Stupefy" in all different directions.

All the Slytherins were knocked back and Harry and the others ran for it. They kept running in all different directions trying to get out. Harry found a door in the middle of the passageway. He opened it and everyone else ran through it.

Ironically, Harry has just walked into the Great Hall. It was empty except for a person lying on the floor in the middle of the hall. Harry and the others ran up to the person and they saw that the person was not breathing. It was Neville Longbottom, and he was dead…
