Ravenclaw House II

" Voldomort, how nice to see you." Harry said nastily, then when Voldomort didn't say anything, he added. " What are you doing here?"

Voldomort smiled nastily, and Crabbe and Goyle Sr. snickered. " Harry Harry, you know what we're doing here. Don't play dumb."

Harry's mind started racing, did he know about the horcruxes? Or was this just some charade of his to try and kill Harry again.

" Where is Dumbledore, Harry?" when Harry didn't answer, Voldomort smiled again. " Don't make me get nasty, Harry. You won't like that. I know Dumbledore was here with your friends, so where are they?" he yelled. Harry's scar was now burning with pain, and he guessed he looked pale.

" Dumbledore is dead, you should know that, you are the one that gave the order." Harry smirked at the look on Voldomorts face, but he was feeling insecure. " YOU KNOW HE DIDN'T DIE! SO WHERE IS HE!" Voldomort shouted. Harry didn't reply, just stared at Voldomorts pale face.

" Okay, you want to play that game, fine." Voldomort pointed his wand at Harry. " CRUCIO!" Voldomort shouted. Harry automatically shouted " PROTEGO'', but reliezed to late that it wouldn't work. The curse hit him in the chest, and Harry screamed in pain. It felt like people were pulling his arms and legs, and wouldn't stop. He thought they would come off his body, but then it stopped, just as quickly as it started. " Want to tell me where he is now, Harry?" Voldomort said, as Harry struggled to his feet. " I don't know! Last I knew, he was dead. And unless someone knows how to raise people from the dead, then he still is." As he was saying this, he was getting his wand from his back pocket. Voldomort glared at him.

" Okay Voldomort, I'm getting bored of this, so I'm leaving."

Voldomort glared at him, and shook his head. " I don't think so. Just how do you think you're leaving Mr. Potter?"

Harry smiled, and pointed his wand at Voldomort. " I think I'll just get rid of you now." Harry knew he couldn't kill him, but he could get away.

" SILENCIO!" Harry roared, pointing at Voldomort. Voldomort was apparently not expecting that, because he immediately was not able to say anything. Harry quickly turned to Crabbe and Goyle, and did the same thing. " Expelliarmus!" He shouted, and all three wands flew from their hands.

Harry quickly disapperated away, back to where his friends had been. " Ginny?" he called, " Ron? Hermione?"

No one answered, and there where no sounds, or movements.

" Maybe they went back to headquarters..." Harry thought.

He apperated back, and looked around. The house seemed completely deserted.

" Hello?" he called. Still no one answered, and Harry was starting to panic.

Did Voldomort take them? Where they...hurt? Suddenly, Harry had an idea.

He ran up stairs and grabbed his mirror. He sat down on the bed, and said " Ginny Weasly" clearly. The mirror fogged, then focused on Ginny. She was in the forest still, it looked like she was hiding in a bush, with Ron, and Hermione crowded right by her. Harry sighed in relief, they were OK. Then Harry realized Dumbledore wasn't there too. " Dumbledore" he said to the mirror. When it focused, Harry saw Dumbledore was in a tree. " Of course he wouldn't be in the bushes, they wouldn't hide him." Harry started shaking, his freinds were safe, and he had beaten Voldomort again. " Ok Harry, you need to calm down, we need to go to everyone else, and tell them what happened." he said to himself.

Harry apperated back to the forest, and saw everyone was out of their hiding places. " Hey, why were you hiding?" he asked them. Hermione looked at him, her eyes wide with fear. She just shook her head.

" Lord Voldomort was here Harry. I think we need to leave, he's probably after you." Dumbledore said.

" I already found him. We dueled, and I won. Again. But we probably should leave, he'll be back." he responded.

Ron stared at him, open mouthed. " You...you...you saw him?"

" Yes Ron, he did. So shut your mouth, and let's get back home before he decided to come looking for us!" Ginny glared at her brother.

" I believe Miss Weasly is right. Voldomort will come back, and if I'm right, then he's probably looking for me? Right, Mr. Potter?" Dumbledore smiled at Harry kindly.

Harry nodded, " Yes, he was. Okay then, we should get back now."

Everyone nodded, and disapperated with Harry back to headquarters.

A few hours later, everyone had rested, and was sitting in the den. Harry had lit a fire, and was sitting on one of the couches, with Ginny. He was telling them about the duel with Voldomort.

" Voldomort was really mad, he really wanted to find Professor Dumbledore. Like I said earlier, Crabbe and Goyle Senior were there. They were the two brothers, I don't know who the real wizard is they took the hair from. I wouldn't tell him where Professor was, and he got really mad. Then he," Harry took a breath. " did the crutacius curse on me. I knew I couldn't kill him, but I did Silencio spell on him, and Crabbe and Goyle. I got away before he could do anything about it."

Harry looked around the room, at his friends faces. Ron looked a little less in awe of him, than he normally did after Harry dueled with Voldomort. Hermione hadn't said a thing since the forest, Harry still hadn't heard why she was like that yet. Ginny was sitting beside Harry, with his arm around her shoulders, her making circles on his hand. She seemed okay, Harry guessed. Dumbledore looked troubled though. " Harry, you said you did the Silencio spell on him?" he asked Harry.

Harry nodded.

" Interesting, very interesting." Dumbledore said, almost to himself.

" Sir, why is that so interesting?" Harry asked him.

" Oh, it's just that Voldomort is a very talented wizard, so I would think he could do wordless magic."

Harry nodded, then sat up.

" I forgot, I did the expelliarmus on them, after they couldn't talk."

Dumbledore nodded, but still looked puzzled. But Harry didn't push him any further.

Hermione spoke up and said, " I think we should practice our wordless magic some more, Harry. If he, or anyone else does tat to you, then you should still be able to do magic." Harry nodded. " Well we can practice before we go back to the forest, to find the key."

Dumbledore had been watching this quietly, but he spoke up now. " Harry, you didn't get the key then?"

Harry shook his head, and looked at the ground. " No sir."

Dumbledore nodded. " I think we should go back to Ravenclaw Manor, and look around some more. Maybe it was just a trick."

Everyone stared at Dumbledore, that wasn't what they had expected.

" Professor? Why would Voldomort do that, rember the locket?" Harry said cautiously.

" I have a theory, Harry, and I would just to test it." Then he looked straight at Harry. " If you don't mind, I'd rather not say what it is just yet."

Harry didn't answer for a moment, then nodded. Everyone looked at Harry, then nodded also, even Hermione.

" Alright," Harry said, still confused." we can leave tomorrow, I suppose."

They nodded, and got up to leave. Hermione and Ron left together, to go practice, Harry guessed.

Dumbledore left, saying he was going to take a nap. Harry and Ginny sat down on the couch, Ginny reading a book, Harry looking at the fire, thinking.

Did Voldomort know they were going after the horcruxes? Or that they even knew about them?

Harry was still thinking about it, when he fell asleep.

A pale-faced boy was screaming, as Voldomort did the crutacius curse on him, again. Voldomort laughed. He stopped, and Draco Malfoy trembled.

Voldomort looked in the corner, and said, " Wormtail, please take Mr. Malfoy back to his quarters." then looking at Draco, " We can play more tomorrow, Draco."

Malfoy's eyes widened with fear, then he fainted in a heap. Wormtail levitated him out of the room, shutting the door behind him.

" Harry, Harry!" Ginny was shaking him awake. Harry opened his eyes, and looked at his watch. It was seven o'clock; he had been asleep for two hours. " Mmm, sorry Gin. Didn't realize I went to sleep." Harry replied.

Ginny smiled, and put down her book. " What were you dreaming about?" she asked him.

" Oh, it was…it was nothing. Just a dream." Harry replied. He wasn't sure how he felt about the dream, and he was still a little tired.

She looked at him, like she was going to argue, but didn't.

" Let's go get some supper, okay?"

Ginny sighed, and nodded. " Alright, let's go."

Down stairs, Dumbledore was at the stove, stirring at something.

" Ah, Harry, Ginny, have a nice nap? I was just making some soup for dinner. Hope you don't mind." Dumbledore said when he saw them.

" Uh, ya, great." Harry responded, smiling.

" Harry, let's go find Ron and Hermione and tell them dinner's almost ready, okay?" Ginny said, tugging on Harry's sleeve.

He nodded, and went with her to find them.

The next day, Harry woke up early. He had heard something down stairs. He threw on his robe, and tip-toed down the stairs, wand out. In the den, where they had sat the day before, deciding what to do after the forest, he heard Ron, Hermione, and Ginny talking quietly.

" Ron! Be quiet or you'll wake him up!" Hermione was saying.

" Sorry Hermione, but you did drag me out of bed at six in morning, and you still haven't told me why!"

I'd better use my cloak, or they might see me. Harry thought.

" Acio invisibility cloak" he whispered. He saw it whizzing toward him, and he grabbed it quickly. He threw it around him, and leaned back around the corner.

" I'm not sure though, so don't say anything." Hermione whispered.

" Are you sure! Hermione, that's a pretty big theory. Are you going to tell him?" Ron whispered, looking fearful, and shocked.

What are they talking about? Must be about Dumbledore, and they just didn't want to wake me up. Harry decided that was it, and went back up stairs. He still had a nagging feeling that wasn't it, but he just ignored it.

" Well...yesterday, when Harry fell asleep, he kept wincing, and his scar turned white. But when I asked him if he was dreaming, he just said it didn't happen." Ginny said, but Harry was already gone, so he didn't hear that.

" Hey guy's, when are we leaving?" Harry asked. He had just come down, after getting dressed.

" Umm, as soon as everyone's ready." Hermione replied, giving a sideways glance at Ron and Ginny.

Twenty minuets later, they were standing in front of the Ravenclaw house.

They all walked up to the house, adnw ent back to the library room. The pedastool was still there, above the ground.

Harry looked around. Nothing seemed different, from where Harry was standing.

He started looking around, like everyone else. Harry was examining a drawer that was filled with knick-knacks when Dumbledore called, " Harry, I think you'll want a look at this."

Harry went over to the book case where Dumbledore was standing.

''Yes sir?" he asked.

" I found this here, I think you might want to compare it the lock on the trunk." Dumbledore smiled.

Harry took the key carefully, and walked over to the trunk. Ron, Ginny, and Hermione came over also.

" Harry, what's that?" Hermione asked.

" A key Dumbledore found. I'm checking it out, see if it'll work."

She nodded, and stepped back from the trunk.

Harry slowely put the key into the lock, and turned it. " It works! This is the key, it was here the whole time!" Harry yelled gleefully.

Everyone got in closer, to look what was inside the box. Harry opened it, and looked inside.

" Wow, look at that. All this over such a little thing." Ron said, awed.

Inside the trunk was a blue and bronze scarf, with a small knitted eagle on it.

Harry nodded, and looked at the scarf.

" Harry, are you going to get rid of it? You are the one that is supposed to destroy Lord Voldomort." Dumbledore prodded gently.

Harry looked at the scarf, almost fearfully, and took out his wand.

"How should I do this? I mean, is it stonger than the average scarf?" Harry asked Dumbledore.

" No, no, I don't think so. A simple extinguishing charm should do it." he replied.

Harry nodded, and set it on the floor.

" Incendio" Harry said, pointing his wand at the scarf.

The scarf instead of burning up, seemed like it had the muggle gun powder on it, because it blew up, with a bang. The fire imieditly went out, and all that was left of the scarf was ashes.

All of a sudden, Harry fell backwards, his scar numb with pain.

" Harry!" Ginny screamed, rushing towards him.

" It's okay, I'm fiiiiii..." Harry started, but the world went black around him before he could finish.

Two hours later, Harry woke up.

" Harry," Ginny smiled at him softly. " are you okay? You blacked out back there."

Harry tried to smile back at her.

" I'm fine Gin, but I just don't understand why that happened?" he replied.

Ginny took his hand, " You should rest right now, we can talk later, okay?"

Harry nodded, and closed his eyes, surenduring to the sleep.

A/N Hey, I know I did a really crappy job with this chapter, so please forgive me on that. I think I fixed it, at least a little bit. If there's a certain part anyone thinks needs to be re-done, please tell me. I also re-did a small part on the last one too, at the very end if you want to look at that. The next chapter will be out as soon as it's done!
