Chapter Ten – Three, Two, One, Times Up

He felt a rib break as he hit the floor. Pain running through his forehead to his chest. He could hear his muffled voice ringing through the air as his vision blurred. Trying to stand he licked his bleeding lip before a hand closed around his throat and slammed him against the wall. He winced when he felt a hand close around his wrist and a snap filled his ears. Rising his head he found himself staring into a red abyss.

"Who?" Tom hissed.

Harry immediately thought of Hermione. How he had seen the way she threw the book into the fire. She did it on purpose he was sure but why. Looking into Tom's eyes trying to think of a name. Any name beside her. One he heard throughout the common room or halls anything. A girl he saw hanging around Lavender, sometimes with Hermione. Then before he knew it the words were rolling of his tongue.

"Patil," Harry whispered.

"What?" Tom growled pushing Harry more into the wall.

"Parvati Patil," Harry said.

Severus snapped his head towards Harry. He knew Tom was mad but taking it out on the boy was just ridiculous. He never knew what the importance of the diary was. He watched as Harry's eyes went to him after saying the name of the innocent girl. A girl who wasn't even in the room that night. He then watched as he released Harry's neck and turned to him. Harry drop to the ground and then slide down the wall almost lifeless.

"Is that true?" Tom asked.

"I'm not sure," Severus said. "I know it was a girl. I didn't know which."

"Very well," Tom said. "She had to know what is was."

"She must have," Severus said. "With Albus running around more trying to find them. I wouldn't be surprised if he had students helping."

Tom then turned back to Harry and knelt in front of him. He ran a hand through his messy hair and lifted his head to look into his green eyes.

"You better not be lying to me boy," Tom said.

"I'm not," Harry whispered hoarsely.

"Kill her," Tom hissed. "Kill her by midnight tomorrow. Is that clear."

"Yes," Harry said.

Tom smirked over at Severus before he pulled Harry to his feet. He muttered something under his breath and Harry hissed when he felt his rib being healed.

"Do not heal your wrist," Tom said. "That can be a souvenir for getting my book destroyed."

Harry nodded his head at him and stumbled as Tom pushed him towards Severus. He felt Severus grabbed his arm and led him out of the room before something was shoved into his hand. He then was led down the halls of Hogwarts and into Severus's living quarters.

"Let me get your wrist wrapped up," Severus said. "And check your head over."

Harry nodded at him and sat down in a chair. He looked around licking his lip again before Severus knelt in front of him. He watched as Severus wrapped his arm up a couple times before he checked his head and then his lip.

"That Granger girl is going to cause a lot of trouble," Severus said.

"It was an accident," Harry said.

"I disagree," Severus said. "Are you familiar with the term Horcrux?"

"Not really why?" Harry asked.

"Then I suggest you look it up," Severus said. "It will save you from the Dark Lord's wrath. I'm guessing your going to get rid of Miss. Patil?"

"I don't have a choice now,"Harry said. "I've already started a plan."

"You better get to bed," Severus said.

Harry left Severus quarters and made his way back up to his dorm. After running through his trunk a little for a special vial. He smirked to himself and looked around for his owl. Smiling when he saw her sitting on the window seal he began to work out his plan.

Hermione rolled out of bed early and began getting ready for a full day of classes. She looked around for her book bag and started to slip her book into the bag when she heard a startled gasp from behind her. She turned around and found Parvati shaking as she held on to a piece of paper.

"What's wrong?" Lavender asked walking over to her.

"I..."

Hermione walked over to the two girls and watched as Lavender took a step away from Parvati in shock. Slowly reaching out for the piece of paper she looked around the room as it fell into a deep silence. She pulled the paper towards her and watched as Parvati sat down hands shaking uneasily. Then slowly she flipped the piece of paper around.

Have you ever heard of the phrase "Live everyday like its your last." Well my dear Patil, live today to the fullest for today is your last day you'll ever see the sun rise again...

"This is stupid," Hermione said. "Someone must be playing tricks on you."

"What if they're not?" Lavender said. "We should tell the headmaster right away."

"Yes," Hermione said. "I'll do that now."

Hermione quickly left the girls alone in their dorm and made her way downstairs. She was surprised to find Harry sitting by the fire. He looked over at her as she walked by. Hermione stopped when she noticed his wrist was wrapped up. Walking over to him she looked around to see if anyone suspicious was in the room.

"What happened?" Hermione asked.

"Nothing," Harry said. "Where are you going in a hurry?"

"Dumbledore's office," Hermione said. "Parvati she got something a little nerve racking this morning."

"What?" Harry asked.

Hermione took a breath. "A piece of paper. Threatening her."

"Is she alright," Harry asked.

"No, but that's why I have to go now," Hermione said.

Harry watched her turn around on her heels. Her curls flying around with her head before she took off out of the common room. He looked down at his wrist before smirking into the fire. First step complete he thought to himself. He listened to the conversation between the girls and the headmaster before standing up and looking at them. He could feel Dumbledore's eyes on him as he made his way over to them.

"Do you think whoever did this is actually going to live up to it?" Harry asked.

Albus studied him. "That's hard to say. We are just going to have to watch every step Miss. Patil takes."

Harry watched him leave the room and turned to Parvati. He watched her shake and start to cry into Lavenders arms. He then turned to Hermione. She was standing there looking confused and worried all at the same time. He went over to her and touch her shoulder.

"Do you think she will really," Hermione asked.

"We won't know till it happens," Harry said.

"I guess," Hermione said. "We should get to class."

Harry nodded and the two left for their classes. The day passed slowly as everyone felt their own paranoia hitting them. Students were watching their backs everywhere they went. Harry kept a close eye on Parvati the whole day. He followed her in the hallways whispers threats to her and she'd go running off to Lavender. He laughed at himself when he watched her trip and then freak out about her neck. Then finally dinner came. Everyone sat down minding their own business. Harry watched Parvati closely as she drank her pumpkin juice before he began eating. He was halfway through his own juice when he heard a scream. Looking down at Parvati he found her holding her neck as if she was suffocating. Lavender got up and tried to help her while teachers ran to her.

Parvati looked around the hall as people came towards her. She then felt a pair of eyes on her and turned and stared into a pair of deep green eyes. She then noticed his lips were moving and froze when she realized what he was voicing to her.

Three, two, one...Times up

Parvati gasped when she looked at Harry before her world went black. Silence fell over the hall and then suddenly the candles went out. Hermione shrieked and took a step back tripping over her feet. She felt a pair of hands steady her. She turned around as the candles lit back up and found Harry looking at her.

"Thanks," Hermione said.

"No problem,"Harry said.

"She's dead," Lavender whispered.

-----------------------------------------------------

The air was thick with silence as a man stepped forward towards a small house. He turned around showing the Death Eaters around him his green eyes before turning to a man with red eyes.

"It is time," Voldemort said. "Time to make everything up to me."

"Yes Father," Harry said.

Harry followed Tom towards the house in silence. He watched as the door was blasted of its hinges. They stepped into the small house and saw a woman running into the living room her brown hair trailing after her. When the rounded the corner she was wrapped in her husbands arms both of them looking in fear.

"Hello Mr. And Mrs. Granger," Voldemort said. "How are you this fine evening."

"Who are you?" Mr. Granger asked. "What are you doing in my house?"

"Has your daughter ever told you about a man named Voldemort?" Tom Voldemort asked.

The parents took another form of fear and started to step back away from Voldemort. Voldemort pushed Harry forward and then spoke again.

"Do you have any last words?" Voldemort asked. "No that's a bummer. No please don't kill me. Take me but save my wife. Seems like you want to die together."

Voldemort's laugh filled the air as a girl with long blond hair walked around both Harry and Voldemort. She stopped walking just in front of Harry and turned to look at Voldemort.

"Welcome my dear," Voldemort said. "It is time to show us how loyal you will be."

"Yes," the girl said smirking towards the Granger's.

The girl raised her wand slowly loving the way fear creped through the eyes of the Granger's. She muttered two words under her breath and then a beam of green shot out of her wand. Mrs. Granger gasped and stumbled back away from her husband as he fell to the floor. No one seemed to move as Mrs. Granger stared at the face of her lifeless husband before she ran from the room. Harry immediately took after her. He watched as the woman ran out the back door and disappeared outside.

He ran through the kitchen and out the back door. He found her heading off into some trees and took after her. He felt a tree branch hit his face and hissed when blood ran down his skin. He could see the lady running ahead of him and found himself gaining on her. Then suddenly she was gone. He ran to the spot where she disappeared and found her laying on the ground. She turned and looked up at Harry in fear. Harry whispered to her through the air.

Three, two, one

The woman let out a scream as Harry raised his wand and then a flash of green hit her and she fell to the ground lifeless. Harry stepped over her body and looked into her blue eyes before walking away from her. He wondered how Hermione would take it and then wondered why he cared. She caused all this trouble but yet. Looking back at the woman one last time he closed his eyes whispering one last time before he disappeared.

Times up

-----------------------------------------------------

Harry walked with a girl into a room filled with Death Eaters. They bowed a little as he walked by and stood by Voldemort's side as the girl remained silent. Harry watched ass he slowly bowed her head to Voldemort before standing up straight. Her blue eyes shinned with admiration and determination. Voldemort's voice rang throughout the room for a moment before he took her left arm.

Harry watched as he placed his wand over her arm and then slowly the Death Eater mark appeared on her skin. The snake hissed its tongue out and then slowly in the sky dark black clouds form as a skull appeared with a snake running into and out of its mouth. The girl bit her lips trying to hold back the pain before her arm was released.

"Welcome aboard my darling," Voldemort said.

The girl smiled at Voldemort and then at Harry. Then slowly she turned around and faced the other Death Eaters. She stepped aside as a boy with blond hair moved passed her. He looked over at a man wearing a white mask with some blond hair sticking out before he held out his arm to Voldemort.

"Young Malfoy," Voldemort began." You have proven yourself worthy. Not only did you help bring my diary into Hogwarts but you made sure it got into a stupid girl's hands. I am also pleased to know you retrieved that stupid fake locket. Soon we will find were the culprit hide the real one.

Harry questioned what Voldemort just said before watching ad Draco took the Dark Mark. He was surprised no sound came from him. He was sure Draco was a chicken like his father who let out a small sound when he got the mark renewed on his own arm. He then watched as Draco moved aside and another boy stepped up. The boy looked a little frighten before Voldemort gave him the mark. Then finally the last new student to join Voldemort and his followers stepped forward. Harry watched as her short black hair fell over her face. Voldemort took her arm and soon she let out a little scream before Voldemort released her. She turned her brown eyes over to Harry before she bowed her head and stepped back.

"Parkinson," Voldemort began." I'm a little disappointed in you. I would think you of all would be able to stand getting the mark."

"Forgive me My Lord," Pansy said.

"I'm sure you and Zabini will soon prove yourselves worthy," Voldemort said.

"We will do our best to please you," Pansy said.

Harry then listened to Voldemort as he continued to speak wondering what he was talking about with Draco and the "fake" locket. He watched as the group of Death Eaters slowly left before he went over to the girl with brown hair. She smiled sweetly to him and then the two made their way back to Hogwarts.
