Love so Silent
Chapter Thirty Eight
The next couple weeks went by. I had the dreams every night but only went to Snape once a week. I hope he doesn't find out about that. Other than that I've been having these bad feelings about the third task. I didn't like it. I've began to look over my shoulders. I couldn't shake the feeling that someone was watching me. But when I looked around I didn't see anyone. It didn't matter the time of day. The dreams became more instense. I rarely hear the velvet voice. That worries me.
Harry walked up to me and startled me. I jumped and pointed my wand at him. He raised a questioning eyebrow at me and put up his hands in surrender. I lowered my wand and sighed.
"Sorry Harry."
"A little jumpy are we?"
"Here lately yes. I just have these weird feelings." He grabbed my arm. Worry flooding his face.
"What kind of feelings?"
"Nothing Harry. There nothing really."
"I'm not buying it." I sighed and gave him a reassuring smile. "If you won't talk to me then at least talk to professor Snape." I looked suprised at him.
"I thought you didn't like Snape."
"I don't but you do. Besides he's nice to you so that makes the dislike bareable."
"Fine I'll talk to him. Are you worried about the task tonight?" He nodded.
"A little bit. I just wish it didn't have to be this evening." I kissed his forehead.
"You'll do lovely Harry."
"Thanks. Now go talk to Snape. At least then I won't have to be worried about you during my task." I smirked at him.
"Wouldn't want that now would we. Bye." I walked in the direction of Snapes classroom. I figured thats where he would be. Half way there someone grabbed my shoulder. I spun around and came face to face with Wormtail. I gasped and opened my mouth to scream. His sweaty hand covered my mouth and he drew his wand. I didn't hear the whispered word. The spell hit me and I fell unconcious.
Snape P.O.V
The task was about to begin. I searched the stands for Eris. I haven't seen her all day. I couldn't get this unsettling feeling out of my mind. It settled in my stomach and just wouldn't leave. I searched the stands with my eyes again. Maybe I wasn't looking in the right place? There was a flash of red light. Someone had been caught. My worry only rose. Something was about to change and I didn't suspect that it wouldn't be good.
Eris P.O.V
When I woke I was tied up to a tombstone. I seemed to be in a graveyard. My head was pounding loudly. I winced and let my head hang. I felt nausious. Dear Merlin don't let me puke. When the feeling past I searched my surroundings better. A man appeared out of the fog. He was wearing a mask like the people at the Tournament.
"You will soon be one of us," he hissed. His voice wasn't familiar yet it tugged at my memory. Maybe its the way he's talking now. Masking his voice. "Voldermorts weapon." I was highly confused. The headach had now changed to a dull throb. I went to reach for my bracelet but stopped. I couldn't put Snape in danger like this. A bad feeling settled into the pit of my stomach. I had a feeling that after tonight my life would never be the same. And I had a feeling for the worse. The man disappeared and I was alone again. I wasn't alone for long though. There was a flash and I saw two figures.
"You Ok," said one male voice?
"Yeah, you," came the other?
"Where are we?"
"I've been here before." I squinted at the figures trying to figure out why their voices sounded familiar.
"It's a portkey. Harry the cup is a portkey."
"I've been here before in a dream. Cedric, we have to get back to the cup? Now!"
"What are you talking about?" Harry let out a shout and holds his head. He's clearly in pain. I smile against my own pain.
"Harry! Cedric!" They both look over at me. Harry's face turns to one of horror. They run over to me. I see two figures behind me. Cedric see's the horror in my eyes and he turns around.
"Who are you," he asks? "What do you want?"
"Kill the spare," Voldermorts cruel voice ordered.
"Get to the portkey," I yelled at him. There was a flash of green light and Cedric lied on the floor dead.
"Cedric," Harry screamed. Wormtail pulled Harry closer. A statue grabs ahold of him and traps him. I struggle against my bindings. I had to help him.
"Do it, now," Voldermort orders. Wormtail drops something into the cauldron. Harry and I watch him.
"Bones of the father, unwillingly given," Wormtail chanted. A bone hovered in the air under his control. He drops it into the cauldron. "Flesh of the servant willingly sacrificed. He takes a knife and slashes his arm over the cauldron. I watch in horror. "Blood of the enemy forcefully taken." He takes the knife and cuts Harry's arm. Harry shouts out. Wormtail takes the knife and lets the drops fall into the cauldron. "The dark Lord shall rise again." The cauldron bursts into flames and Voldermort emerges.
"My wand wormtail," came Voldermorts raspy voice. Wormtail hands him the wand and bows deeply. "Hold out your arm."
"Master. Thank you master."
"The other arm wormtail." At this he looks concerned but does it anyway. Voldermort then sticked his wand into his arm. The sky changed and others have been summomed. I just stared wide eyed. Had already given up on the idea that I could get free.
"Welcome my friends. Thirty years it's been, and yet you stand before me as though it were only yesterday. I confess myself disappointed, not one of you tried to find me." Voldermort began to slash angrily at the hooded figures. I turn away. "Not even you, Lucius." My head snapps back to them. I meet Harry's worried gaze. He mouths to me that it'll be alright. I didn't believe him.
"My lord. Had I detected any sign or even a whisper of your whereabouts." That was a sorry excuse. Apparently I wasn't the only one to think this.
"There were signs my friend, and more than whispers."
"I assure you I never renounced the old ways. The face I have been obliged to present each day since your absence, that was my true mask."
"I returned," came Wormtails voice. I couldn't help my eye roll. The coward.
"Out of fear, not loyalty. Still you have proved yourself useful these past few months Wormtail." Voldermort granted Wormtail a new hand. I felt like puking again.
"Thank you master, thank you." Voldermort turned to look at Cedrics corpse.
"Oh, such a handsome boy."
"Don't touch him," Harry yelled! Something was telling me to keep quiet. Harry began to struggle to get free.
"Harry! I'd almost forgotten you were here. Standing on the bones of my father. I'd introduce you but word has it you're almost as famous as me these days. The boy who lived. How lies have fed your legend Harry. Shall I reveal what really happened that night thirteen years ago? Shall I divulge how I truly lost my powers? It was love. You see when dear sweet Lily Potter gave her life for her only son she provided the ultimate protection. I could not touch you. It was old magic, something I should have forseen. But no matter, no matter. Things have changed, I can touch you now!"
Voldermort puts his hand on Harry's head and he screams. I choked on a sob. "Astonishing what a few drops of your blood will do eh Harry? Pick up your wand Potter. I said pick it up, get up. Get up! You've been taught how to duel I presume yes? First we bow to each other. Come on now Harry the niceties must be observed, Dumbledore would not want you to forget your manners now would he? I said bow!" When Harry still refused Voldermort made him bow with his magic.
"That's better. And now.." Voldermort cast a spell at him and Harry wriggled in pain. I screamed and chocked on another sob. Tears were running heavily down my face. I struggled against my bonds again. "Atta boy Harry, your parents would be proud. Especially your filthy mongrel mother. I'm going to kill you Harry Potter, I'm going to destroy you. After tonight no one will ever again question my powers. After tonight if they speak of you they'll speak only of how you begged for death, and I being a merciful lord obliged. Get up." He pulls Harry to his feat. Harry begins to move away toward me.
"Don't you turn your back on me Harry Potter I want you to look at me when I kill you, I want to see the lights leave your eyes." Harry takes a step toward Voldermort.
"Have it your way," Harry said. I stared in shock. They both cast a spell and their streams of magic met. It was clear they were both struggling.
"Do nothing," Voldermort said to his followers. "He is mine to finish. He's mine!" Shapes form in the surrounding magical energy. We could hear Dumbledors voice. Then our fathers voice.
"Harry when the connection is broken you must get to the portkey. We can delay it for a moment to give you time but only a moment, do you understand?" I sob at the sight of him. Then their was Cedrics voice.
"Harry take my body back will you? Take my body back to my father." Then our mothers voice.
"Let go. Sweetheart you're ready. Let go! Let Go!" The connection breaks. Harry looks over at me but I shake my head. Willing him with my eyes to leave me. Tears shine in his eyes as he summons the portkey and grabbs Cedrics body. In the next instant Harry was gone.
"No!" He turns to me. "I at least still have you."
Harry P.O.V.
I look up at the collective gasps from everybody. I was leaning over Cedrics body crying. I looked up at the approaching figure of Dumbledor. "Eris," I gasped. "Eris is still there." Dumbledor looked at me in horror.
Eris P.O.V
Voldermort takes a piece of my hair. He twists it around his finger as he sneers at me. "Lovely Eris." He carreses my cheek. "Won't you join me? I can give you anything you'd ever want. Fortune. Power." Why would he want me? Why not kill me like he wants to do with Harry? I then had a flashback to first year. When I first met him. And what I said to him about the mirror. 'I see myself beside a great leader. We've taken over the wizarding war.' Thats why. He thought I had wanted to become a Death Eater. I looked up into his red snake like eyes.
"I..."
Haha I'm so evil. Another cliff hanger. So what do you think is going to happen?
Sorry for jumping to different P.O.V's. I just needed you to know what Snape was feeling and what happened when Harry got back.
Review!
Hope you liked it.
