Harry Potter And Voldemort's Ally
Part 23

"Ok, so what now ?" James asked Ron. James stood leaning against a large oak, starring daggers into Rons back. "You said you had a plan, and this plan, was getting lost in the Forbidden Forest, was it not?" He spat angrily at Ron. Ron turned on him, his temper finally snapping.

"What are you so bloody well scared of, I saw what you did to those Dementors, you could have destroyed the entire hall, and you've probably got more spells up your sleeve as well to fight with, so what are you so worried about?" Ron bellowed at James, "You act so brave in class and at the school, but are you really a coward?"

That was to much for James, he moved forwards, raising his fist. "You take that back all I'll rearrange your face!" Hermione came between them at the last possible moment, holding up her hands to spot James "James, take it easy, we're all in this together" Then she turned to Ron, "You apologize to him, Ron, You've got no right to call James a coward" Ron nodded dumbly, he was visually regretting is words "Sorry James" He said to the ground.

James who had walked away to over where Harry was standing watching the argument. "Yeah OK, I'm sorry too Ron, it's just I've got a bad temper, that's all" Ron again nodded dumbly. Hermione looked over at Harry "What do you think?" She asked him.

Harry shook his head and thought "I don't know, I think we should go back, but then there's probably more Dementors back at the school, so that only leaves going deeper into the Forest, and trying to find the Centaurs, they might help"

James scoffed "No way, I've seen 'em, they won't help us if their lives depended on it" Harry retorted "There is a Centaur, I'm not sure on its name but he'll help" James nodded, "I'm with Harry, into the unknown" Hermione looked unsure "I'm thinking along the same lines as you Harry, but I think Dumbeldore would have all the Dementors cleared out by now, so I'm thinking back to Hogwarts"
James turned to Ron "Ronny, which way, if you choose towards the forest, we might find help, or we could find trouble, and if we try to get out, there might be Dementors, so, which way?"

Ron looked James in the eye and thought hard . Into the forest, that sound good, but there's might be werewolfs, mad unicorns, and who knows what else, or outside of the forest and back to Hogwarts, but then there were Dementors, which most certainly would be there, I saw a few get away before we left, so it one terror over another. And I known which I would rather. "Into the forest"

James nodded, "Right, lets get to it" He drew his wand, and walked away. Harry followed, drawing his wand also, not wanting to find anything unexpected and not be armed. Then Hermione, who was still skeptical of this whole plan. And a sullen, annoyed and upset Ron.









"Potter, Weasley,Granger and Wills are not here Albus" McGonagall said tight lipped. She sat in the staff room with the other teachers, including Sirius, Arabella ,Mundungus and Lupin. Dumbeldore paced the room. "Causalities Madam Pomfrey?" Dmbeldore asked unhappily.

Madam Pomfrey sighed "Sir, Colin Creevey has not spirit" There was a gasp, a looked of utter, and total horror appeared on the teacher faces. Devastated McGonagall struggled to a chair "You mean, a Dementor........" Madam Pomfrey nodded, and continued "Several student have cuts, quite a suffering from the effect of the Dementors and three were badly trampled, but nothing serious apart from Creevey"

"Thank you Poppy" Dumbeldore sighed. He turned to Sirius "Sirius, I need you help" Sirius smiled weakly "Sure anything" Dumbeldore signed. "I needed to you to find Harry, I known that you and James share many ideas, and so do James and Harry, so can you think of a likely place"

Sirius thought, James, James, where would James go? Knowing James, to the Whomping Willow, but Harry and the others don't known where to push the tree to stop it jumping around and ripping them apart, Hagrid, no, I think Harry would keep going, wood can't hold back a frenzied Dementor, so the Forest.

"The Forbidden Forest" Sirius said, lifelessly, knowing that if he was right, they would be in great danger. Dumbeldore nodded solemnly "Just as I thought, we must get them out of their as soon as possible"

Professor Sprout, how was in shook from the Dementors said quietly "Why, I thought that they could handle them self well, considering what they did to the hall" Arabella nodded "Why Albus?"

Dumbeldore shook his head "I known that you all think I'm getting older, and older, and losing my touch " Professor McGonagall stood up angered "Albus you known that we'd....." Dumbeldore cut her short "Minerva,please sit and listen' Dumbeldore said, and she sat down "But this time I was wrong, as you all known, Death Eater have gotten into Hogwarts, and we all thought that it was from the outside"

"But I looked back through the spells, checking where they had been breached, and found that only once had it been broken through, and this was shortly after Voldemort's capture of Azkaban" Lupin thought out aloud "If it was only once, and all the rest were not from the outside, then"

"Exactly Remus, they have a stronghold some where in Hogwarts boundaries" Then it was Professor Flitwick turned to pipe up "And your saying that their stronghold is in the Forbidden Forest?" He asked slowly, just coming to fully understand the seriousness of the statement.

"I'm afraid so Professor" He told Flitwick. Professor McGonagall, looking like something dead, as the color drained away from her face, murmured "Albus, we can't attack a stronghold full of Death Eaters, just us, what are we going to do?"

Albus signed, had resigned not use any of the Ministry's Aurors, it could seriously endanger the safety of Arthur time as Minister Of Magic, but he couldn't just let Harry and his friends die, and they would, if he couldn't stop them walking into the lion lair, so to speak.

"Professor Sprout, send a owl straight to the Minister Of Magic, tell Harry,Ron,Hermione and James are in trouble, tell him to get as many Auror he can and get to Hogwarts as son as possible" He said quickly to him, the Professor nodded. "The rest of us, will venture into the forest, perhaps it may no be to late to save their lives"

Professor McGonagall gasp, "Sir, I known you have faith in us, but against Death Eater, and possibly He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, we don't stand a chance" Sirius temper flared. "LILY AND JAMES DIED BECAUSE WE WEREN'T STRONG ENOUGH TO KILL HIM, I'LL LET VOLDEMORT TOUCH HIM OVER MY DEAD BODY!"

The assembled group gasped, shocked at Sirius outburst. Again he yelled "I'll go even if you won't" resigned he walked out of the staff room. The shook crowd slowly came round, first Lupin,Mundungus and Arabella. They left with out a word only Lupin, who said "We owe James, I'll not let his son die in vain, he doesn't even known the truth about this fathers killers" He left.

McGonagall managed a gasp, and a small "He's right" Dumbeldore nodded solemnly. "Sirius will die in vain also if we will not help, I'm go, if you wish to help, follow me" He turned his back and left the others in his wake. None spoke, but with quite resignation left, to fight Voldemort.












James trod carefully. Slowly, making sure anything under foot was soft enough to withstand his foot step. He crept silently on. They had walked away, into the ever darkening forest. And then they began to hear sound, laughs, shouts and other noise, and then a light. Which had lead them to the camp.

Leaving Harry and the other behind, he had crept up to a sycamore to scout out the camp. He gasped as he saw it. A small rise in the ground, no more the a hump in the ground stood there, to solid oak reinforced with iron and steel doors lay open.

Beside them was a Prism, and a Death Eater. The Prism carried a long, cruel shaped saber, his purple robes made him look almost invisible in the light. Next to him, a Death Eater stood, he carried nothing but a wand, which he was flicking from hand to hand, he lean against a large tree, which rustled in the wind.

He crept back, again careful to mind his steps. He soon found Harry and the others waiting by a rotting willow. "Well?" They all asked at once. Quickly James shut them up "Sssshhhh! What are you trying to do, get us all killed?!"

Hermione quickly asked "What's wrong James?" James quickly explained "There's a whole underground camp of Death Eater and Prism in the clearing, 2 on guard and a lot more beneath ground" Harry was surprised "So this is where they're all coming from" James nodded.

"We've got 2 choice, one we go in there, and possible, put a thorn in Voldemort's side, or we skips this place and keep moving, and I already saying we go in" Hermione was quite shocked "James,why ever do a thing like that, go in, we wouldn't stand a chance"

James said angrily, but quietly "The man who put my father in a coma, , the man who gave me this scar, is in there, he heads the Prism. I'll be damn if I let this opportunity go begging,Harry, Voldemort is in there, wouldn't you like to tell him how it is, about your parents, honor their memory"

Harry thought. His parents had died to protect him, he would let their killer walk free away from this, his parents will be avenged. "Let's do it" He said simply, James nodded. Then turned to Ron and Hermione "You in or out?"

Hermione answered for both of them "Your problems are our problems" He grinned but Ron interjected "What about the guards?" James grin returned "Leave that to me" He said and disappeared.

They waited, seeing shadows moving around to the Prism side of the entrance. James' shadow. He had drawn his wand and was ready to cause some trouble. He moved directly behind the back of the Prism. He moved up behind him. And tapped him on the shoulder. The prism spun round, sword coming out of its scabbard. As he turned James' fit intercepted his head. With a sickening crunch, the Prism's nose snapped and passed out unconscious.

The Death Eater spun round,at the punch, pointing his wand at the Prism. James disappeared again into the shadows. The Death Eater walked over to the Prism, wand at the ready, and bent down to the ground looking at the prism. He ate dirt as James foot came crashing down on his skull. He also passed out. Pointing his wand he murmured the stunning charm.

James removed the Prism sword, and motioned Harry and the others on. The came up to him at a run. "OK, now what?" Hermione said. James replied "We go in"

The doors to the complex were open, luckily, by the strength of the wood , and it's weight wouldn't be moved by 4 teenagers. They crept in. A long dark corridor led down, to another set of doors, but they were over a hundred meters away. Torches lit the sides of the wall. The torches merry fire spreading light through this evil place.

Harry and the other slowly advance, James took up the rear. He now had prism sword out, it's long curved blade pointing forwards, ready for anything. Each took steps lightly, make as little noise as possible to alert the Death Eater and other at the bottom.

They kept going on, down the long narrow corridor. Hermione and Ron had now drawn their wands. James suddenly stopped. Hermione looked back "James come, on " He held up his had for silence, and mouthed 'listen'. Then they heard it, cracking.

The floor rumbled. And it cracked. Long cracks shot through the ground. And now the floor was begining to to crumble into a pit of some kind. Then James understood "It's a trap, run!" And they did, as the ground crack more, and now from only meters where they had been, the floor collapsed downwards into a fire pit, lava, bubbled and smoke, and cloud of flames rose now and again.

They sprint away, Harry leading, the Ron,Hermione and James took up the rear. The crack stopped suddenly at a patch of ground, 10 meters away from Harry. But behind him, the cracks were catching up to James.

Harry reached the safety of the strong rock, and Ron followed. But the Hermione was the last across. As she threw her self across the distance between Harry, and the cracks, it finally gave way,on spiraled towards the pit, James with it.

As James was reaching jumping distance the stone beneath him fell from under him to the endless void beneath. "NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!" James bellowed as he tumbled towards the fire "JAMES!?" Hermione and Harry cried but Ron was too rivet with fear to reply.

Hermione leaned over the edges as the finally piece of stone disappeared into the flames. She couldn't see James, clouds of flames had risen. But she new, that James wasn't there, he was gone, forever, he was dead.

"No!?" Hermione gasped, as tears began to flow. Bitter tears, she loved James, he was kind, supportive, strong, and helping, but now his remains lay destroyed, all because of Voldemort,Voldemort had killed James, and she was going back him pay.

Harry stood shock, James, indestructible James, the one who had tackled werewolfs, Dementors, Death Eaters, and Malfoy, was gone, dead. Harry sense couldn't tell him anything. Mind numbing pain, fear, sorrow, but only one to made it past the main storm that rage, revenge and rage. James had died trying to get Harry in to to kill Voldemort, and he wouldn't let his work go for nothing.

Ron was rivet still. Unable to move think, or do anything. Before his eyes, he had seen James fall to his death, in a fiery hell, but he couldn't understand. But James was gone forever down that hole, and he would never rise again, he was gone.

Hermione cried bitterly over the stones. Harry kneeled beside her , tears flowing from his eyes as well "Hermione" He said, trying to compose himself "He died, for us, let not let his memory go to waste" He didn't no why he said this, it just came, from somewhere inside.

Hermione stood and looked Harry in the eye. "He died for us to get to Voldemort, lets get to him, and kill him" She finally , grief stricken, she could only have two thought, James dying, and Voldemorts dead body. Gathering up her Elemental power she reach for her amulet, she felt it's cool power flow, it chilling calmness easing her sense, and the she let it reach to her wand, in it glowed.

Only for a moment, and then into a icy blue. Harry called upon his powers, sharpness filled his sense. Understanding fill his mind, it coursed through his veins, and finally, it reached out, and his wand flash, and the golden yellow it became.

Ron, only now recovering enough, also called on his powers. He felt him self grow stronger, harder. it strengthened, slowly it came down, an into his wand, it took it's form, crystal seemed to grow off his wand. This strength gave him understanding, of what they had to do. A wordless agreement was reached, Voldemort must die.

In the distance they could see a door, solid oak, like the first, it was hardener with iron and steel. they raced for it wands at the ready. Ron reached it first, and murmured a charm, his wands spat rock.

A solid lump of molten rock ripped the door from it hinges, wood splintered every, a sheet of wood hit a Death Eater, it crush him instantly, and the rock keep going, smashing into a wall, large stones sprayed everywhere. It threw up a cloud of dust. Harry came next.

He saw a Death Eater about twenty meters, he had he wand raised and heard the words "Avada Kedavra! " A green blast of light flew towards him magical death it brought to any one near. Pointing his wand towards the light screamed "Litnaiicus! " A crack spilt the air as lightning ripped apart the curse, in a moment, and kept going, hit the Death Eater in the chest, he was thrown back, writhing, lightning shocking his system.

And Finally Hermione ran in, she pointed her wand towards the dust, that had now created a curtain from this side of the chamber to the other. And out from it walked a siloutte, long and tall, thin, almost like a snake, a snake. And then the voice came. "Why Harry, how nice of you to join us, with your friends" Lord Voldemort, walked out of the mist, and siloutte of many Death Eater followed him, but didn't go past the mist. And The Voldemort called "Now Harry, it's time for you death, the pleasure is all mine"

James is dead, Voldemort about to kill Harry. What will I write next? If you want James alive, REVIEW. I'm not afraid to kill him!
