Is Professor Sullivan evil? (Gasps) Like I'll tell you. I
don't own anything. I'm counting down
on the chapters. Here's chapter 28.
Chapter 28
***************
Harry looked around.
It was dark. But how can it be
dark when it's daytime, Harry thought. He
looked around for Professor Sullivan.
Why would she lead me here?
"Don't move and
stay where you are. I'll be right
back," said Professor Sullivan behind him.
He turned around. The portal wasn't
opened anymore. He did what he was
told. The place was eerily quiet. She has gone in an awfully long time, he
thought.
"Master, I have
brought him to you," said a female voice.
In an instant his scar sear with pain.
"Good job, my
servant, and does he have the necklaces?" said a cold male voice.
"I will go and find
out, Master," replied the other voice.
A light flicker through the place and Harry then saw where he was. It was unfamiliar woodland with a stone
cauldron standing a few feet away from Harry.
Professor Sullivan was approaching him, with a smile on her face. He knew, through his scar hurting that
she's-
"You-you're a Death
Eater!" he exclaimed pointing at her.
"Well, of
course. Not yet, anyways, but I'm going
to be," she said coolly. "Now, be a
doll and give me what I want."
"I don't know what you are talking
about."
"Don't be a brat,
Harry. Give your godmother her
necklaces," she taunted, grabbing his shoulders.
"I-I don't have
them right now," he said, starting to get very scared.
"Oh, don't lie to
me, boy," her face was contorting with anger.
"Give them to me so I can give them to the Master!"
"Harry!" someone
called through the darkness. Footsteps
were getting closer and closer. Harry
could see figures in the dark. He soon
recognized them. They were Sirius,
Remus, Ron, and Hermione.
"There you are,"
said Hermione, panting.
"Are you all
right?" asked Sirius. Harry, forgetting
where he was at the moment, said,
"Professor
Sullivan, s-s-she's a, I mean, going to be a Death Eater. Ron, you're right. She's not what we think she is."
Remus was confused,
"Are you sure? Briana is not the
type, I mean, I know her for so long." He looked at Sirius, who looked back
confused.
"But how can she be
here…if she just came with-" Ron was interrupted by a voice.
"Remus, Sirius, I'm
so glad to see you. Everything's just
dark," said Professor Sullivan approaching them. She stopped in front of Sirius.
"Oh, I'm so scared, Sirius," she threw her arms around his neck. Sirius gave Remus a confusing glance.
"It's all right,
Annie-" Professor Sullivan kissing him interrupted him. He pulled back quickly.
"You're not Annie." Harry, Hermione, and Ron looked at each other.
"Well, wouldn't you
know it? You recognized her kiss. I would have thought you would kiss anything
that moves," the woman who looked like Professor Sullivan answered.
"Who are you?"
asked Remus, narrowing his eyes.
"Well, Moony, can't
you recognize a friend when you see one?"
There was a rustle somewhere near by.
The figure that came out of it made Harry jumped out of his skin. It was the real Professor Sullivan. "Oh, bugger, she's here to rain on my
parade."
"What's going on?
Where's Harry?" asked the second Professor Sullivan. She was clutching her right wrist.
"I'm getting
impatient with all of you. Let us begin
now," said the cold male voice again.
Harry's scar burst with pain. He
heard Professor Sullivan let out a painful scream. The man with the cold voice stepped out of the shadows. It was Lord Voldemort.
"Annie, are you all
right?" asked Sirius, approaching her.
"I'm fine, go help
Harry," she looked at her twin and said, "Who are you? What do you want from
us?"
"I don't want
anything from you, thank you very much, although one of your hairs did come in
handy. So this is what is like being
you, huh, Annie?" The woman said looking at herself. "Is this what's it's like to be Briana Sullivan?"
"Who are you?"
Professor Sullivan repeated.
"Well, you are
about to see," the woman walked towards the cauldron. "I am ready now, Master. Give
me the Dark Mark."
"Very well,
Wormtail, my Death Eaters come. Don't
be shy now. We have some guests, very
special guests," said Voldemort. Harry,
whose scar still hurts, looked around the woods. A giant circle of people enclosed them. One was approaching them.
It was Wormtail. He went to
Voldemort.
"YOU! YOU DID THIS!
BETRAYER! HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO US? I HELPED YOU WITH EVERYTHING AND THIS IS
HOW YOU REPAY ME!?" shouted Professor Sullivan. She was about to grab him when Remus and Sirius held her by her
arms.
"Whoa, there, Annie,"
said Sirius. "Maybe later."
"Yeah, save some
for us," said Remus.
"Let me go. I'll get you." Wormtail ignored her and went
on setting up the cauldron.
"Hurry up,
Wormtail. We must get this done. Come out now, my new servant. Let your friends see who you truly
are." The woman who had looked like
Professor Sullivan changed into a familiar woman who Harry had seen
before. She had long dark hair and dark
eyes.
"Maria?" said
Professor Sullivan.
"Of course, it's
me? Who would you think?" replied Maria Costello.
"But why?" asked
Remus.
"Well, why do you
think Moony? Back when we were in Hogwarts, all I ever heard was Lily and
Annie. Oh, Annie didn't get the head
girl part, boo-hoo. Oh, Lily is such a
wonderful person. Annie is so good in
quidditch. Lily is so pretty. It was always about you and Lily. Well, what about me? I had talents too. And I'm going to prove it today."
"Maria, I never
knew you felt this way-"
"Well, you never
actually think about others, eh? You were always stuck in your world, your
perfect little world-"
"My world was never
perfect and you know that. I'm sorry
if-"
"You are way too
late for that, Annie. And now, you all
will witness what I should have become a long time ago."
"Maria, please, don't
do this. You are the only one I have as
a friend-" Maria choose to ignore her.
"What a pretty
little reunion this is, don't you think so, Wormtail? See, unlike all of you, Wormtail had the guts to go to the dark
side. Isn't that right, Wormtail?" Wormtail remained silent. After awhile, he said meekly,
"It's ready. The Death Eaters' Rite is ready."
"Good, good," said
Voldemort. "Maria, come, my
servant. Let us begin.
"Dark is to
night as light is to day
You chose the dark
and forever you shall stay
As a symbol of
your loyalty I pledge on to you
The mark of the
skull and snake
Forever you
shall bear.
Till the
darkness has swallowed up the light
And your soul
will be wiped away."
"My wand, please,
Wormtail. Thank you, MORSMORDE (a/n:
don't know if it's the right spelling)!" She let up a piercing scream. Harry
saw the Dark Mark appearing at Maria's left arm. First, it was bright red and then it turned black. Maria bent down to kiss the hem of his
robes.
"Master, I am proud
to serve you," she said.
"Good, now, drink
the goblet from the cauldron. For it
shall renew you," he said. "Now, for
the moment I have been waiting for.
Briana Sullivan, how lovely it is to see you. Has it been a long time?
How are your parents? Are they dead
and rotting? Oh, what's the matter cat
got your tongue? Crucio!" The curse was
in midair. Professor Sullivan muttered something and instantly her aura became
bright blue. She blocked the curse.
"So the girl
learned a few tricks. My servants, you
know what to do. You and me, Briana,
need to duel for your death," he laughed a mirthless laugh. The Death Eaters were closing in on
them. Remus had his wand out.
"We're
outnumbered!" he exclaimed.
"Harry, stay behind
me," said Sirius. Harry had one thing
in his mind. He ran to Briana.
"Professor," he
said.
"Harry, go stay
with Sirius. I'll take care of this,"
she said firmly.
"I want to help
you."
"You would help me
by staying with Sirius. Now go!"
"Crucio!"
"Armus Circumdus!"
said Professor Sullivan. Instantly, a
round dome surrounded them. "Stay in
here. Don't go outside. EXPELLIARMUS!"
Voldemort, who was caught off guard, was thrown back to a tree. "RUN! NOW! Hurry!"
Harry ran with all his might. He arrived back to the place where everyone was. "Stupefy! Expelliarmus!" Professor Sullivan was throwing curses and
charms everywhere. Harry felt he should
do the same thing. "Stupefy!
Expelliarmus!"
"Over here!
Everyone over here!" shouted Professor Sullivan. She was taking something off
her neck. "We are going back. Harry you go first, then you two, Hermione,
Ron. Now, when I open it, run into the portal and don't look back. Gates of the Key-"
A Death Eater shouted a hex towards them. Harry turned around. It was headed towards Ron. He was about to push Ron away when Hermione
shouted, "Ron! Look out!" She pushed
Ron away from the hex. She got hit and
then she collapsed.
"Hermione!" shouted
Ron.
"She will be all
right, Ron. We'll get her to the hospital wing. Mobiliocorpus. Gates of the Key, unlock thy powers, send us
back to thy destination!" Harry went in the portal and never looked back. He had arrived in Dumbledore's office.
All right, so was that a surprise? Hmm… I don't know. Let me
know so please leave a review. That's
all. Thank you!
