**************************************************************************** *

The long hall was dark except for the fireplaces set along the sides of the hall silently glowed green because of the leaping flames inside them. No noise could be heard except for the whoosh of the water streaming out of the fountain in the center of the hall. A security guard dozed leaning against a large gate at the end of the hall.

Suddenly four fireplaces began to crackle, two on either side of the fountain. A dark hooded figure stepped through each one and then united at the fountain.

One of them pulled out a long thin wand and directed it at the sleeping guard. He fell into a heap on to the floor, dead.

"Where is she?" asked the smallest figure, her voice was distinctly feminine "Master said she would meet us here."

The figure on the left put away his wand and replied by pointing a finger to the other end of the room where a body was materializing slowly.

A feminine slender figure appeared before them. She was dressed in black and a translucent black scarf was draped around her face hiding it from view, the only part of her that was exposed were her eyes.

She walked towards the four figures, her high heeled pointy black boots tapping against the floor. She was a head shorter than all four but they seemed to fear her.

"My lady." said one of them, all four did a sort of half bow.

"Macnair." She replied. "Is the outside secured?"

"Yes Crabbe and Goyle are securing the main gate."

She sighed. "I have no faith in them, you and Avery go and secure the outside."

Two hooded figures exited the hall immediately through the large gate.

She turned to the female hooded figure. "Bellarix you and Rohdolphus guard the gate."

They parted without question.

She then turned to face the empty wall opposite the gate. She took off her leather glove of her left hand.

She walked until she was only half a meter away from it. She pulled out her wand in her right hand and held out her left hand in front of her, flat and her fingers facing away from her. She muttered something silently, and a slender blade immerged from the tip of her wand. The silver blade glimmered against the eerie glow of the fireplaces. She placed the blade in her open hand and her fingers closed tightly around it. She slid her hand slowly off the blade, not even wincing once as it cut into her. The blood trickled out of her closed palm and across on to the back of her hand and dripped onto the floor.

Her hand left the blade completely and pressed against the wall. The blood covered blade slid back into her wand disappearing from sight. She closed her eyes in deep concentration. Her blood was running down the wall from under her hand. She placed the tip of her wand against the back of her hand and her hand began to glow red.

Symbols started being traced into the wall above her, in blood.

In a minute an entire message was written on the wall.

She took her hand off the wall and stood back to admire her work. She smiled twistedly.

She shut her eyes and now placed the tip of her wand against her temple and her hand on the other side. She whispered another inaudible word again.

Her eyes flew open, they seemed blank as she looked over the message on the wall again. She whispered something hushed, this time a sentence..

Faraway a boy of seventeen jerked upright in bed.
