A Little Experiment Gone Awry

Back at Bella's cave, Pansy was still sitting down while Harry was still trying to find a way to escape.

Pansy: Nothing like a quiet evening, sitting by the fire.

Harry found a pebble and was pushing it towards the fire, hoping that it would make a large enough hole to escape. But that didn't work because the hole had quickly vanished. Harry then saw a large boulder hanging over a ledge and was thinking of using that. Before he could think anymore though, Bella came flying inside the cave and down the steps.

Bella: You just can't keep a good woman down.

Pansy: Of course, she sort of puts a damper on things.

Downstairs, Bella took out the paper and put the missing piece in the torn spot and began laughing. While she was doing that, Draco, Luna and Astoria had finally made it inside the cave. But when they did, Draco was shocked that Harry was an owl again.

Draco: Harry? How did…

Harry: There's no time to explain, Draco. You have to stop her.

Draco: I've got to get you out of here first.

Harry: No, Draco.

Draco: Is there any escape?

Harry: Draco.

Draco: I won't see you die. Now, is there any escape?

Harry: I think so.

He then looked up to the boulder which made Draco look in the same direction also. Luna and Astoria then went quietly downstairs to find a rope while Bella was chanting the Power to Destroy.

Bella: Orla bay… du anna be lay. Cordora illustry.

They found a rope by the steps, grabbed it and ran back up. Draco then took it and threw one end above the boulder. Luna grabbed it and tied it around the boulder while Draco was getting ready to pull. Draco then turned his attention to Harry, having second thoughts.

Draco: This is crazy.

Harry: Trust me, Draco. Pull.

He then started pulling while Luna and Astoria were pushing it.

Astoria: Are you pushing, or am I doing all the work?

While they were doing that, Bella had just finished chanting the last word.

Bella: Cruxis.

The red vortex from before came out for a little bit and started going back in the orb. Upstairs, they finally got the boulder to fall and Harry and Pansy were getting ready to escape. When it landed on the trap, it made a big enough hole so they could get out. They got out right when the vortex had gone back in the orb.

Bella: You're lucky, Harry. You will be the first to see the Power to Destroy.

Draco: Go, Harry.

Harry: I'm not leaving you.

Bella had got upstairs and was shocked to see that the trap was empty. That's when Draco popped out of nowhere and pulled out his sword to fight her.

Bella: You!

While they were fighting, Pansy was fighting Astoria for a hiding spot behind a rock.

Astoria: I was here first.

Pansy: So what? I am a princess.

With Bella's attention towards Draco, Luna and Harry had pushed a pile of rocks from a ledge, hoping that they would fall on top of her. Unfortunately though, she had blasted them into a million pieces and took aim at Harry.

Bella: Harry.

Harry and Luna began to hide where Draco is. Once Harry made it to Draco, Draco gently held Harry's neck to make sure that he was okay when Bella had started yelling at them. She then had an idea which made her laugh evilly and Astoria knew what she was thinking. She then ran towards Harry to warn him about what Bella is going to do.

Bella: Cowards, come out! This is war, not Hide-And-Seek. Seek, my seekers. What do you know, I've improved on the Forbidden Arts.

Astoria: You've got to get out of here, Harry. You can't hide from this one, trust me. Go!

Harry: What?

Astoria: It's a destroying seeker. Go!

After hearing that, Harry then started to fly out of the cave with Luna following him.
