A Truth Revealed – or is it?
(A/N: I tried to make this a good chapter but well, I'm sick so I can't really think straight. I hope you like it. The long awaited Drama!)
The trio made their way through the twisting corridors and passed several cells filled with skeletons and starved men - or what used to be classified as men anyway. Ron and Harry were shivering because of the vileness and coldness of the place but Draco, who was used to it kept marching along looking for signs of Death Eaters.
Not soon later they could hear screams coming from a nearby corridor. Instantly thinking it was Hermione they rushed towards the corridor and ran down looking for her. The corridor was made of Italian marble and was line with doors instead of cells. It also came to a cross-section.
"This must be the Poinsettia wing. If she's in here we are in deep water. Even deeper that what we would be if she was in the cells. This is where heirs are born. But why would Voldemort want her to mother a heir?"
Ron was so shocked by the news he couldn't even open his mouth to say "Don't say his name!"
Harry on the other hand was shocked by the news but could still take action.
"Okay then," he said "we have to split and find her - fast. If any of us get in trouble scream or just make as much noise as you can. If you find her, oh stuff it, I'll just do the thought charm so we can talk to each other in thought speak okay?"
The others nodded in agreement and soon the charm was performed. They all went in separate directions after bidding each other good luck.
(A/N this is all in though speak so just all picture where they are okay? I did it like this so you can use your imagination even more than before.)
this is freaky Harry, for god's sakes all I can find is doors upon doors and it's all too quiet if you ask me
don't worry about it Ron, it'll be fine. We'll find 'Mione in no time
I think that question was directed to me Malfoy and since when did you and Ron become pals anyway?
when you were in the coma. You have a great friend there Potter. Anyway, I'm near the end of the corridor and I can't seem to see an intersection looks like this is a dead end! Wait! I think I hear something
Draco! What is it?
Malfoy c'mon answer us!
Harry I think he's on to something
yeah me too. Come towards the intersection and wait for me there 'kay? He might , who am I kidding? , he WILL need backup
coming Harry, Merlin! I think I hear someone coming
……………………………………… a long silence …………………………………….
Potter, I'm on to something. There's screaming coming from a room nearby. I think it's 'Mione's but I'm not gonna go in yet. It's hurts me more than anyone to hear her scream and heck I wish it was me there instead but we should go in together otherwise it might end up getting us killed
for once Malfoy, I have to agree with you. I'm coming down the corridor now. Left or right fork?
left. What do you think happen to Ron?
I think he almost got killed by a Death Eater but hid just in time
Ron?
yes, it's me. Now, left or right fork?
left
thanks Harry
I can see you now Potter I'm going in
Okay Malfoy but be careful alright?
Yes Dad
has he gone in Harry?
yep, he's just opened the door I'd hurry if I wer…
it's a trap! Trap! Get out of here! There's four Death Eaters and a box making the sound. Get away! They know you're here!
are you stupid Malfoy we're coming!
Ron, hurry! Malfoy. Trap. Death eaters. Cd Player.
What?
Muggle thing now just hurry okay?
(A/N back to normal mode)
When Draco walked into the room he saw that it was empty apart from a black box (or as Harry had correctly guesses, a CD player.)
Suddenly, he found himself surrounded by four Death Eaters each holding wands. There was Nott, Crabbe, Goyle, and Flint. Draco was quite surprised that Luscius wasn't there. He screamed a warning to the others telling them not to come - even though he would prefr them to over anything at this particular moment - but they didn't listen and now they were inside the room with their wands pointed at the servants of the Dark Lord.
"Stupefy!" Ron and Harry yelled simultaneously and then; there were two.
Nott who was the smartest of the two stunned Draco and then placed the Cruciatus curse on Harry. Ron knowing that for once, he had to be the hero racked his brain for a way out of the mess.
"Expelliarmus!" he yelled pointing his wand at Nott but at the same moment Nott decided to throw the exact same spell at Ron. The two spells met in mid-air and held a link.
"Do something you git!" Nott screamed at Crabbe, who, as was expected of him, was standing there looking like an idiot.
"Erm….er….er…okay! Cruciotes!" and then Crabbe the half mouse, half flower was laying on the floor.
"Fool," murmured Nott as Ron stifled a laugh but still managing to keep the connection.
Finally, Ron decided to break the link and dodge the attack. While Nott was still recovering from being flung to the back of the room Ron, stunned him. Harry was finally free of the curse and Draco had finally woken up.
"And people said I was the hero, Ron," Harry joked.
The trio then heard another scream followed by a:
"GET AWAY FROM ME YOU BEAST! YOU DISGUSTING, VILE EXCUSE FOR A WIZARD! YOU HORRIBLE, GHASTLY, HIDEOUS, REPUGNANT, FILTHY, NAUSEATING, REPULSIVE, BRAINLESS; ABHORRENT, FILTHY, CALAMITOUS, OMINOUS, PORTENTOUS, STUPID, DOLTISH, ARROGANT THING!"
Then there was a snap of a whip.
"That HAS to be Hermione!" Ron said.
"And how do you that?" Draco Malfoy replied.
"Well, the voice doesn't have the crackling sound a CD player makes and what other girl has a vocabulary like that in the face of danger?" Harry answered.
"A what what?" Draco asked.
"Muggle thing, explanation later." Ron replied as he set off running in the direction of the scream.
The two boys followed, each with similar thoughts running through their minds – she better be alright! – and – where the heck did she get those insults?
They finally found the room the noise was coming from and opened the door. Inside, there was Hermione chained to the wall. Her clothes were ragged and bloody, her face was bruised and dirty, and most of all her body was bony and covered in bloody (as in blood) scars. There smiling, nest to her was no other than Luscius Malfoy himself.
"Now, I shall give you a choice. Kill Ronald Weasel and I shall give you food. I know you haven't eaten in days. You'd like that wouldn't you? Or refuse and starve."
"First of all dim-wit. It's Weasley. I only know one weasel and that's you! And second of all, I'd put myself under the Cruciatus curse before I'll even consider your stupid alternative," the girl spat.
This girl had spirit, and she wasn't about to let the Luscius win. Especially now that she saw Draco, Ron and Harry over by the door. And ooh no, the dark hooded figure of Voldemort. Knowing that Voldemort was half-blind and not wanting Luscius to notice her rescuers Hermione just kept mouthing the words "Behind you!" "Behind you!"
Too late. Voldemort had seen them.
"I see we have visitors Luscius," he said.
"How nice of you Harry Potter, to come and watch the execution of Hermione Granger Or should I say Hermione Potter?"
A/N – again: You don't think you were gonna get away without the usual bottom A/N did you? Anyway, I hoped you like it and don't worry Harry and Hermi aren't married or anything.
