Chapter 20: I Am Here
"You're here!" was all Harry could say as he launched himself at the man. They embraced and all seemed to be okay. Harry felt himself wanting to be as close as possible to the Dark Lord. He could not believe that he was actually here with him. Voldemort obliged the young man by holding onto him very tightly. Harry pulled the man down and gave him a deep kiss. They were both so caught in the moment that they barely heard the door being torn off and the roar that followed…
A few seconds later both Harry and Voldemort were blasted backward by the force of the jabberwocky's roar. As the giant creature tried to stick its head through the door Voldemort sent a blast that sent the creature hurdling down the corridor. He then grabbed Harrys arm and asked the surrounding company to hold onto him as he apparated. Within the blink of an eye they were all safely back in the library.
Both Snape and McGonagall flung themselves into the first available chair both sighing in relief. Lupin who was shaking simply fell to the ground and lay down. Harry who was still in Voldemorts arms just clung tighter to the man. The Dark Lord did not seem to mind.
After a few minutes the Dark Lord held his wand to his throat.
"Death Eater nearest me come here!" he screamed.
His unexpected shout had everyone scrabbling for his or her wands. Voldemort simply looked apologetic and held on to Harry tighter. Within a minute a lowly Death Eater dressed all in black strode in and knelt in front of the Dark Lord.
"You called My Lord?" he asked still kneeling.
"Yes. In the East wing somewhere between the dungeons and the guest rooms there is a loose creature. Take a few other Death Eaters and put him back in his cage at the back of the house. Try not to kill it." Voldemort stated and waved his hand, which indicated, to the lowly Death Eater to get out.
Voldemort then turned to the others and motioned for them to follow him into the sitting room so they could relax with some tea and biscuits.
Harry continued to cling to the Dark Lord and after a few feet of dragging him Voldemort got frustrated and took Harry by the legs and carried him the rest of the way.
As they made there way to the sitting room they were met by several patronus' each came baring some bad news or so they thought because it was in code and only Voldemort could understand. By the time they reached their destination everyone could feel the raw power of the Dark Lord start to suffocate them. It was dark and made everyone feel cold it reminded Harry of a dementor. He tried to soothe the Dark Lord but it was to no avail. His anger was simply too far gone. He seemed to be lost within himself as he roughly placed Harry into a chair and turned toward the door.
"It seems I have to torture some people. I will right back." The Dark Lord stated. His robes billowed around him as he left the room.
He left everyone feeling worried and confused. Harry was a little cross and sad. He was quickly cheered up as a plate of chocolate cookies and chamomile tea appeared before him. He sat quietly and contemplated why the Dark Lord was so upset. The others simply looked at Harry worrying, as the young man seemed to be having a war within him.
