Chapter 10: Torture

Mary's cold, black eyes stared into mine, looking for signs of fear or vulnerability. I tried to act calm, but I new that my fear had seeped through my cool and calm visage. She aimed her wand at me, uttering the words that I feared the most. Pain shot threw my body as the unforgivable curse hit me square in the chest. I let out a high pitched, blood curdling scream, and I could hear Ron calling out for me. I was raised high in the air writhing from the terrible spell. Nothing was worse than this pain. I wanted to die right then and there, anything to escape the torturous pains that were spreading all over my body.

I looked down at Ron, whose face was screwed up in pain, even though he wasn't being tortured. He was being forced by two huge death eaters to watch , and he was stuggling to break free to be able to look away or to help me, but he wasn't successful. My eyes locked with his, and I could see the love in his eyes. He really did love me. This emotion, this feeling of love, was so powerful that it dulled the pain a little bit. I kept my eyes locked with his, and eventually stopped screaming, the pain becoming more and more vivid.

All of a sudden, I fell from the air and landed (hard) on the floor. Now it was Mary that was screaming, she had been knocked down by a curse that seemed to come out of nowhere. ROn was suddenly free and so was I , although I was too weak to move. Harry, Ginny, and Neville came out from the shadows, wands raised, daring any one of the death eaters to step up and fight. Ron rushed over to my side, seeing if I was allright and then trying to help me up. There were flashes of lights and screams all around me as Ron swiftly carried me over to a corner in the shadow where I would be safe. He then grabbed one of the now dead death eater's wand and rushed off to fight. I began to feel even woozier and the lights and screams became distant as everything began to get darker and darker...

"Hey, I think she's waking up!" I heard voices whispering around me as i stirred. I felt a cool hand on my forehead and my eyes slowly fluttered open. I was in a bed in the hospital wing, surrounded by all of my friends.

Everyone explained to me what had happened- I had passed out just before Mary had gotten back up and attacked harry from behind. He had managed to throw her off of him, and after fighting for another half an hour, all of the death eaters had been knocked out , and one was dead. They called the ministry and they were all thrown in Azkaban where they belonged. Everything was back to normal, and we could all go on and live our lives.

A/N ok! that was the "last" chapter, and I know it was short, but -oh well. I'm going to add an epilogue ( i might be able to get it in today, otherwise you'll have to wait two weeks). I hope you liked it! DOnt worry, in the epilogue, all of the unresolved answers will be solved. Review!!!
