Harry
Potter and the Capture 4
Harry stared, face to face with the man who murdered his parents. He
noted that the Lord Voldemort looked somewhat surprised at his sudden
appearance. And that he was in a whole lot of trouble.
"Well, well, well.
Who do we have here?" Voldemort said in a quiet voice. Harry didn't answer. He
raised his wand and shouted out "Expelliarmus!". Voldemort had been ready. He
cried out "Crucio!" on the same beat. To Harry's amazement, the second the
spells hit in mid-air they darted out sideways. The old Riddle house creaked
loudly, but luckily, the roof didn't fall in. "You didn't think you could catch
me out with Priori Incantatem twice in a row, did you?" Voldemort said with a
smirk that could beat Malfoy's. Harry didn't like the situation he was in.
*Back at Hogwarts*
"Albus! I've
searched the whole school – Harry's not here!" Professor McGonagall said
breathlessly. Albus Dumbledore frowned. "Did you check Hagrid's hut?" he asked
her. "Of course I have" McGonagall said, slightly annoyed. Dumbledore arose
"Minerva, please go and inform Sirius and Remus to check any likely places that
a portkey, or a death eater, would take Harry."
McGonagall walked out of his office, and Dumbledore walked
over to his office window.
He was worried.
Serverus should have returned by now. It had been some time
ago that Voldemort had called him to the Riddle House, and Albus was now quite
sure that Harry, Hermione and Ron were also there.
He wanted to go after them.
But what if death eaters attacked the school whilst he was
gone?
Professor Dumbledore was torn between loyalties to the
school and loyalties to Serverus, and the Potters.
*Remus Lupins' House*
Remus Lupin looked up from a game of
wizard chess he was playing with Sirius, as a large barn owl came swooping down
through the window.
He grabbed the letter from the owl, eager
for a good distraction from the game. He was winning, and Sirius was NOT a good
loser.
" Hey Padfoot, its from Hogwarts" he
said, noticing the Hogwarts Crest it bore on the back.
Sirius took the envelope from Remus, and
pulled the piece of parchment out of it.
To Sirius and Remus
Today Mr. Potter went
missing. We have a feeling Voldemort is behind this, and we are relying on you
two to check anywhere a portkey, or a death eater may have taken him.
Yours Sincerely,
M.McGonagall
"Well, what are you staring at Moony? We
have to go and find Harry!" cried out Padfoot already pulling some shoes on.
Remus sighed.
He had a feeling this was going to be a
very long day.
*Hogwarts*
" Minerva, I'm leaving you in charge of
Hogwarts" Dumbledore said to the Transfiguration teacher.
" Call some aurors in if anything happens
whilst I am gone"
McGonagall nodded, not questioning this
at all.
Albus left to Hogsmeade, from where he
would apperated to Little Hangleton.
To the Riddle house.
*Meanwhile*
" You sure about this, Remus? I mean, we
could be wasting time if he's not there…." Sirius said doubtfully. "For the
hundredth time, Padfoot, I'm sure they'll be at the old Riddle house." Moony
stated.
" Well, okay… We'll apperate there now"
Sirius and Remus appeared just outside
the gates of the Riddle house.
" Do we actually, like, have a plan of
how we will save them?" Sirius asked slightly nervously.
" Um.. No." Lupin answered.
" But I do."
Dumbledore appeared beside them.
" Follow me"
*Inside the Riddle
House*
"Crucio!" Voldemort shouted, and Harry
got him by and almost unbearable pain shooting through his body.
If help didn't come soon…
The door of the room burst open. In
entered Dumbledore, Lupin and Sirius.
Voldemort dropped the cruciatus curse, as
his attention turned to the three wizards standing in the doorway.
" Hello Tom." Dumbledore spoke.
Voldemort's face filled with anger. " No
one calls me by my old name." He hissed." Avada Kedavra!"
Dumbledore dodged the killing curse.
"Stupefy!" He yelled in return.
The Dark Lord blocked it.
This was the start of the biggest two –
mans duel Harry had seen in his whole life.
Curses flew all over the room, in all
directions.
It went on for ages. Harry could see that
his headmaster seemed to be growing gradually weary.
Sirius and Remus were edging their way
towards Harry, Hermione and Ron. Remus took Hermione's hand and then Ron's.
Both of Harry's friends looked shocked at the duel in front of their eyes, yet
followed Remus.
As they reached Harry, Sirius grabbed
Harry's hand.
Then…
"Avada Kedavra!" Voldemort cried again.
This time the killing curse hit Albus
Dumbledore, and he collapsed, dead, to the ground.
Harry gasped.
The Dark Lord heard this and turned his
attention to the five people behind him.
" Quick, Now!" Remus yelled, his voice
trembling.
Harry, Ron, Hermione, Sirius and Remus
appeared in Hogsmeade, in a dark alleyway.
Hermione had tears running down her
cheeks, Ron couldn't seem to stop saying ' Oh My GOD' and both Sirius and Remus
looked grief stricken.
Harry felt tears burning his eyes.
*Back at Hogwarts*
Minerva McGonagall heard shouts coming
from the Great Hall. Startled, she walked down there to see what was going on.
As she walked in she saw every one
pointing up to the ceiling of the great hall.
She gasped as she read what it said.
A/N- Sorry about Dumbledore. I
had to kill him off, for the sixth year story I am going to write after the
rest of this.
Please R/R!
