A/N Hey guys, I'm back! I am sorry for not updating sooner, I have been on holiday in Sydney, without Wi-Fi. So I have had to wait until I was back home to update.

Chapter 7- Caverns of Fear

Harris and Smaug leapt back as the cliff face emitted another groan, then, right before their very eyes, the cliff face sunk into the ground, creating a tall passage way. Harris glanced at Smaug, who glanced back. Then they entered the tunnel. The arch shut sharply behind them. The tunnel was gloomy and dark, and Smaug, who was stupid enough to touch one of the walls, said it was also very slimy. Harris quickly did a lumos charm, so the two friends could see down the dark passage.

Harris spotted a small hint of light at the end of the passage. Hours later, the passage widened out, and became a small cavern. There was a ring of fire surrounding what looked to be an ancient scroll. "what is it?" Smaug asked. "I know not" replied Harris, his voice was quivering slightly, but you could also here excitement in his voice.

OoO

Professor McGonagall had never been more frightened and nervous in her entire life. Her four star students had been gone for hours. She had had the entire school searching, but the four had disappeared without a trace.

At that exact time, Draco Malfoy was wondering through the forest aimlessly. Trying to find a way to the dark lord. He was sick of Hogwarts. Everyone ignored him, they were all too worried about bloody Harry Potter and his gang of blood traitors and a mudblood. Also because everyone was focused on Harry, no one noticed Draco Malfoy being taken by a bear. He died a painful death.

OoO

Hermione was about to cast a spell to allow her to fly across the tomb. The gigantic cavern that contained the precious tomb that probably held the wizard Newtron Callmey, the wizard who learnt how to invent proper spells. The cavern exploded in lava and acid, almost impossible to get past. Every square inch of the cavern was covered in lava or acid. Hermione froze mid-spell. "Wow" Harry said. "This must be some kind of test for us to get past."

"Yeah" the others agreed, mumbling. The four began to cast spells.

OoO

Harris and Smaug began to cast water spells, hoping to put the fire out. Nothing worked. The fire seemed to be water resistant. Which made no sense, but Harris did detect very strong magic at work. Now all he had to do was find the power base of the magic. Then the fire would be extinguished, and the scroll in the centre would be theirs.

Harris began scouting around the fire, leaving Smaug standing there, completely confused and wondering what he was doing. Shrugging, Smaug kept casting water spells, even though his attempts were useless. 'What an idiot" Harris thought to himself. He continued searching, running his hands along the slimy walls. How they were slimy with fire in the room shocked Harris, it made no sense, but all well.

Harris was struggling, and beginning to lose hope, his theory of a power base may be flawed. However, he continued to scan the walls. He ran his hand over the smooth surface, hoping to find a lump or something that might lead to a power source. His hand suddenly found something. A thin but strong piece of rock jutting out of the cavern wall. He gave it a yank downwards, and was successful. The wall opened up into a small archway. He called out to Smaug, who came rushing over.

Harris and Smaug entered the small tunnel, with Smaug still wondering why the hell they were going down this small tunnel. Smaug was quite claustrophobic.

OoO

The four friends were using their made up clear spells to break through the seemly never-ending flow of lava and acid. Using cooling and breathing charms they also made up, they were able to survive the closeness of the lava and acid as they slowly made a passageway through the fatal substances.

The four were feeling very scared. The excitement of creating awesome spells had worn off. They were now just nervous and scared. Moving slowly through lava and acid would do that to you. They all spoke nervously and kept telling each other to concentrate and that they would all make it out alive.

Eventually, after lots of encouragement and nervous laughing as they tried to keep the mood up, they made it to the other side, where they could see the passage heading upwards. They relaxed as they neared the surface, soon they would be up in the woods, they would breathe fresh air, and they would take down Voldemort, Dumbledore and Snape.
