Chapter 11: The Red Portal
Leslie woke up the next early morning feeling great. His four poster bed was extremely comfortable, and he did indeed like the furnishing of the Fifth Year dormitory. Below the dormitory was the Ravenclaw common room, where only Ravenclaw house members were allowed to stay.
Leslie still wasn't sure if he was going to stay at Hogwarts or go back to his American school, but he liked the mood of the castle… the magical atmosphere and the magic itself fascinated Leslie.
Harry, on the other hand, didn't sleep so well, for he had premonitions of an impending portal that will open and take he and his friends in a far away place. Lo and behold, it came true:
Harry met Hermione and Ron already in the Griffindor common room. It was still empty because this was a Saturday and there was no school. Just as the trio was about exit the doorway of the common room (which was guarded by a talking portrait of a fat lady), a pretty girl of fifteen ran down the girl's dormitory staircase and yelled, "Harry, Hermione, Ron! Wait up!"
The trio turned around and saw it was Lavender, who was also a fifth year. They said, "Good morning Lavender."
"Hey mind if you join you? I woke up because Hermione's noisy shower woke me up and I couldn't go back to sleep."
"Um sure," Ron mumbled.
"So where are you all going to?" Lavender asked.
"Food," Ron mumbled again.
"Food," Harry followed.
"Oh all you boys think about is food," Hermione giggled.
So the four walked down to a circular hall where all the four stairwells of the four common rooms met.
Ron was surprised to see his sister, Ginny Weasly standing there in her nightgown waiting impatiently.
"Ginny, what the hell are you doing this early in the morning! Hurry up and get dressed you have to be freezing!" Ron scolded at Ginny in a brotherly way.
"You people go away, I have some unfinished business," Ginny retorted.
"Oh and what is this?" Ron said
"Just go away! You'll ruin my plan," cried Ginny.
"Ginny, I thought I told you not to bring your idiotic friends," a sound from the Slythern stairwell said.
"Draco!" Harry yelled, "Leave Ron's sister alone!"
"Ha! Even she said, she had unfinished business!" Draco retorted.
"Hey hey hey. What's all this commotion down here," replied another noise coming from the Ravenclaw hallway. It was Leslie who yawned and held a large book and two wands that peeped from his pocket.
Lucious Malofy (Draco's father), and Wormtail was hiding beneath the Slytherin stairwell observing all this.
"We should do it now! The time is right and Harry Potter shall soon be in the hands of Lord Voldermort," Lucious whispered to Wormtail.
"But sir, all Harry's friends are there… that would mean he would have help on the other side… and also sir your son is there!"
"Ah, Harry's friends shall die with Harry; and as for my son, he's useless anyway," snickered Lucious.
And so, they began to chant some arcane verse of ancient magic as they appeared from the stairwell.
"Father what are you doing here!" exclaimed Draco.
"Shut up! You are no longer my son!" Lucious said, then he continued to chant with esoteric words.
A swirl of wind and fantastic colors began to surrounded the seven teenagers. Everything around appeared fuzzy and blurry.
Harry still saw Lucious take out some sort of long staff and held it high above his head as he continued to loudly chant the incoherent arcane magical verses. The wind and the colors began to swirl faster and faster…
"Damn it Draco! Okay, everyone hold hands, we are doing through this together."
Just as everyone began to hold hands and form a circle as they were completely enveloped by the wind and the swirling masses of color. Everyone did manage to hold hands except for Lavender, but alas it was too late.
The strong pulling force seemed to suck all of them towards the spiraling red tunnel below them. Lavender was sucked down first, and because she did not latch on to anyway, she disappeared into the portal.
"LAVENDER!!!!!!!!" the remaining six teenagers (except for Draco) yelled.
Then the remaining six was too pulled down into the swirling spiraling mass of the red portal…
