Ch.19- Conversations Overheard

Sarah awoke to find herself a few feet from the unconscience form of Harry. She was free but Harry was tied to the tree. They were deeper in the woods, because it was almost completely black and she was leaning on a tree. The only light was a small candle. She didn't see Voldemort, but she thought that he wasn't far from them. Her head hurt very badly. She crawled over to Harry. "Harry, wake up. Harry, can you hear me? Come on Harry, you have to wake up. I'll give you till the count of three and then I'm going to tickle you. 1... 2..." Harry began to move his arm. He put his hands underneath his armpits. "Don't tickle me, please. I very ticklish and I think we could be friends if you did. Can you untie me?" She carefully maneuvered herself around to the other side of the tree, and untied it. Harry rubbed his wrists once the rope was removed. "Thanks." There was an awkward silence. "What happened?" They both asked at the same time. "You go ahead Harry."

"Well to tell you the truth I don't really know. The last thing I remember is walking with you. Then someone grabbed me, and pulled me into the woods. I was screaming, and everything went black. And here I am... What about you?"

"Well I heard you screaming, and I followed you in here. I ran as far as I could, and I still couldn't find you. I stopped to catch my breath, and someone was there. It was Voldemort," Sarah paused there because Harry became very pale." You were knocked out not far from him. We talked and I made some smart comments, and he hit me. And I woke up here, and you know the rest." They sat in silence for a moment.

"Do you know where we are?"

"I think that we're still in the Dark Forest, but it's too dark to tell. And we can't do anything because our wands are gone. I'm really scared."

Harry began to gently rub her back. "It'll be okay. Don't worry. Someone will realize we're gone and come and look for us."

"I'm not just scared for us... What about everyone at the school. What if that really was Voldemort? And what if he is at the school now?"

"Calm down, and don't be thinking things like that."

"I'm sorry, I don't mean to be such a coward..."

"You are anything but a coward. You are the bravest person I know. Look at what you did here tonight. You took charge in the middle of chaos. Imagine what would have happened if you hadn't have been there. I don't know a lot, but one thing I know for sure... You are not a coward."

"Thank you. You are a really good friend."

"We have only been friends for a short time, but you are one of my closest friends. I would do anything for you. You do know that don't you? Cause I would..."

Sarah couldn't help but smile. "Thank you. I would do anything for you too. I love you... as a friend anyways." Harry began to blush.

"Thanks. I love you too."

"Aww. How cute." Came a cold voice from behind them.
