THE WISH PT VIII
Ron woke up to a cold breeze, his head hurting like crazy. Where am I? He thought. His eyes wondered around, taking in his surroundings. He was on the edge of a gloomy graveyard, on the base of a hill. There was a circle of people on the other side of the cemetery, speaking in hushed voices. Hermione and Him were tied to a tree, and Harry was bound to a darkened grave. Then, something clicked inside his head.
"Hermione!" He whispered out of the corners of his mouth, trying not to alert the circle of people. " Psst, Herm, someone's taken us!"
She stirred, and opened her eyes. They grew wide in horor.
" Ron," She said, her voice shaking. "This is the graveyard where Harry met You-Know-Who, last year!" She gulped, and Her eyes fell upon the circle of muttering people. " And those people," She started. " Those people are d-death ea-ea-eaters."
She was trembling violently now, fear was silently overtaking her.
" Herm, it's ok, we are gonna beat this," Ron said, his voice sounding more confident than he felt.
The group of people broke apart, and to their horror, a man stepped out ino the moonlight. Or was it a man? It had burning red eyes, and slits for nostrils. It stepped foward, and raised his wand at Harry.
" Crucio," It murmured, in a high pitched voice, a smile spreading accross it's face.
The still air was pierced with Harry's screams, and the soft, cold laughter, of the being.
Ron and Hermione both knew who it was.
Lord Voldemort.
" So," said Voldemort, in that dreaded high voice. " We meet again, Harry Potter, and this time, I see, you have brought your friends with you."
He glanced over at Ron and Hermione, and turned back to Harry. " Friends are the best allies, Harry," Continued Voldemort. " As you can see, mine are over there." He gestured to the circle of people, and began again. " That is why, I'm afraid, Yours will just have to go. Untie them, Wormtail."
Harry tried to scream, but he was gagged too tightly. Wormtail, Voldemort's faithful servant, stumbled over to Ron and Hermione, untied them, and gave them back their wands. He shoved them foward, so that they were face to face with the Dark Lord Himself.
" I Challenge you, Mr Weasley and Miss Granger," He said Curtly, a hint of sarcasm in his voice. " To a wizards duel. Now bow to me." As if they had any choice, some invisible force pushed Ron and Hermione over, bowing their heads. As the force released, He spoke again, this time to Harry. " You will see your friends die, Harry Potter, and you will soon join them.
He turned back around, but Ron and Hermione were too quick.
Hermione had a plan. " Ron," she whispered, as Voldemort was talking to Harry. " I'll stun the death eaters, and you disarm him."
Ron nodded in agreement. He was ready, so was she. As Voldemort turned around, Hermione pointed her want at the death eaters.
"STUPEFY! STUPEFY! STUPEFY!" She yelled, pointing it at different masked people.
" EXPELLIARMUS!" Ron roared, and Voldemort's wand flew into his hand. It only seemed natural to him, so he held the wand in both of his hands, and snapped it.
" NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" Voldemort shouted pitifully.
" Hermione was back at Ron's side, and she spoke, her voice a lot braver then before.
" So, feel powerful now? This is the moment we have all been waiting for, Mr. I'm-too-powerful-to-be-defeated."
All this time, Ron had been untying Harry. He wobled a little, and rubbed his forehead.
" STUPEFY!" Hermione shouted, Her wand pointed at Voldemort. She had to shout it three more times for him to actually be knocked out, because he was so powerful.
The thought struck Ron's mind, like someone had hit him over the head with a hammer.
"Um guys?" He said," How are we going to get out of here?"
" I think Dumbledore sent something," Harry said, finding his pack lying on the ground. Sure enough, they found an old hat, that was a portkey, and they were to transport the death eaters, Voldemort, and themselves with it back to Hogwarts. But then something caught their attention.
Voldemort had woken up, seized one of the unconcious Death Eater's wands, and pointed at Hermione.
" Crucio," He muttered weakly, hoisting himself up.
Hermione screamed, Her body crumpling up and falling to the ground. Voldemort advanced on him, but Ron and Harry were too quick.
" AAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!! NOOOOOOOOO!!" Harry shouted, drawing his wand, and throwing himself at Voldemort.
"HERMIONE!" Ron shouted, and flung himself over at Hermione, kneeling beside Her.
" Ron?" She said, in a very soft, meek voice.
" 'S ok, Herm, I'm here." He picked her up in his strong arms, and went to get the portkey.
" Ron!" Harry cried gleefully from the other side of the cemetery, "I've beaten Him!" Sure enough, there was voldemort, lying on the ground, curled up.
" Lets go!" Ron shouted and they gathered all the Death Eaters, Voldemort, and themselves, and eventually found a way to attach all of them to the portkey.
Ron was still holding Hermione, and Harry didn't object to this.
" Off we go!" said Harry, tapping the old straw hat with his wand. They were off.
In couple of Hours time, they were sitting in the Gryffindor common room, amidst a huge crowd people, celebrating.
" Well, we did it!" Harry said triumphantly, looking at his two friends.
" We sure did," Hermione said. She grasped Ron's hand, just as Ginny came over to see them.
" Oh, you're all right!!" She squealed, huggin Ron, then Hermione, and then Harry.
She blushed slightly, and started to walk away, the back of her neck as red as her face.
" Wait, Ginny," said Harry, " I have to talk to you."
She looked astonished. They walked off together.
" Well, wonder what they are going to be up to?" Hermione said, grinning.
" I don't know," Ron replied, smiling back. " But it wont be as good as this."
He leaned foward, and kissed her. She kissed right back. They were both tied up in the moment. It was like they were floating.
" Um....Guys?" Harry was back, so was Ginny, and they were holding hands.
All four of them laughed. This wasn't going to be such a bad year after all.
Sooooooooo, did u like it??? Did i suck???? PLEASE R/R!!!!!
