Chapter 14
Giving Up Freedom To Free A Friend
"What did you say, girl?" Voldermort's cold voice asked.
"I said, stop. As in don't do it any more," She snapped, her voice unwavering.
"Are you talking back to me? Do you know what I could do to you?"
"Yes. I am very well aware of what you can do to me. And to everyone else in this room. So I'm willing to go," she said, not letting her fear show in her voice.
"Go? Go where?" Voldermort asked, his lips forming into a twisted smile. A smile so twisted it made Renee shiver.
Under her breath Audra hissed, "Don't do it!"
"I'll go with you, to where ever you are going to take me, if you leave this room and everyone in here alone."
"You'll go with out a fight? If I leave every single person in this room unhurt? Are you mad?"
"No."
"Why will you go? To save the life of who?"
"My brother, my friends."
"All right then. I agree with your offer. I've got what I've come for."
He took her by the arm. He then thought better of it and said "Wingardum Leviosa." Renee went flying through the air and hit the cold castle wall with a a sickening thud. Her head snapped back and she was knocked unconscious.
Draco stood up and yelled a curse that was supposed to stop him. It merely stunned him, and he slowly turned around. He threw Renee on the ground.
"CRUCIO!"
Draco fell to the ground, withering in pain, and crying out. Audra caught him on the way to the ground. Professor Snape managed to say the counter curse quickly, and just as he was going to try to stop Voldermort, he found that he was gone.
The class stood still, most so shocked that they could only gasp or stutter. Others in the class had tears running down their cheeks whether in fear for themselves or fear for their class mates, was not to be sure. Professor Snape came out of his stupor first. Quickly he turned around top face the class.
"Granger! Go get Madam Pomfrey! Go NOW! Tell her three students are hurt," he barked, then he turned to Audra who was still holding Draco up.
"You, put the boy down, and go to the Headmaster's office. Tell him to hurry and explain what happened. Hurry!"
Both Hermonie and Audra ran from the room, so quickly that they were nothing more then a blur of black robes.
Madam Pomfrey arrived at the class room first. Seeing the three injured students (this included Harry who was still holding his head in pain) she quickly conjured up stretchers and lead them to the hospital room. Dumbledore got to the classroom last, with Audra trailing after him.
Seeing the state the class was in he said, "Severus, make a sleeping potion enough for the class. It should calm them down. I was afraid that this would happen."
"You knew then," Snape stated.
"No, I did not know that this would happen. I knew they were each brave, but never thought that she would give herself up to save others. She has no idea what she has done."
"What has she done, then?" Audra asked.
"Nothing. She has done nothing," Snape said.
"You're lying. I'm her friend and I deserve to know."
"I will explain to you after Harry, is well enough to be out of bed. He needs to know this too."
"What about Chad?"
"Chad, already knows, I'm afraid."

Renee meanwhile, was currently unconscious. She was in a dirty room. The walls were made of dreary gray stone. There was no light entering from any opening, because there was none. The floor was hard, cold and caked in dirt. There was a small cot on one side of the room, and that was it. A heavy coarse, brown door was the only way in or out.
With a groan she slowly opened her eyes. For a moment she couldn't figure out where she was. She sat up, and then slowly sank back to the ground. Her head felt like it was splitting into two pieces. When she opened her eyes again, she realized that she was in some sort of dungeon. Then she remembered the deal she made with Lord Voldermort.
~ Great, she thought, I hope he didn't do that evil villain thing and just agree, then kill every one. And hopefully Chad's okay. ~
She managed to stumble to where the cot sat. She slowly sank onto it and fell asleep. She didn't notice the pair of eyes watching her.

Audra sat in the hospital wing, determined to sit there all day if she needed to, until she found out what was going on. She had found that all students were to stay in their common room, in case Voldermort came back. When she was asked to move, she refused, until Dumbledore told Madam Pomfrey to let her stay.
So far she had sat there for three hours, and hadn't heard a word on anyone. No one was talking to her and she was getting a tad bit irritated. Just as she was about to demand to see if Chad was all right, Dumbledore beckoned for her to come into the room, where Harry and Draco were.
She sat down in the chair that had been placed that for her. She sat down and looked at everyone in the room. Lily and James, looked tired and angry. Dumbledore sat in the chair, his eyes not twinkling , and rather serious. Harry and Draco looked exhausted. Which was to be expected. Everyone, had a grave expression on their faces.
"What about, Chad?" Audra asked, voicing her question out of worry for her friend.
"Mr. Hernandaz, will not be joining us. At all I am afraid. He is not here," Dumbledore said.
"But, I saw him...and Renee, and they......"
"Yes, you saw him. Before potions, that was him. In Potions, that was not him. That was Peter Pettrigew. He had the taken the Polyjuice Potion."
"But that means that, Chad was taken too!"
"No, I'm afraid that Chad went willingly. Very willingly."
"Why?" Harry asked.
"As you know Renee and Chad were born when the stars of Kallisto were burning the brightest. Thus, they became known as Twins of Kallisto. There was a prophecy telling of their birth, in amazing detail. The prophecy was written by their mother T'iana. She saw it in a vision, and had written it down," Dumbledore began, and then Lily took over.
"Later her diary was found by Peter, who at the time was our friend. He ripped out part of the prophecy, but we were able to figure out what it, meant. She had mentioned it to me earlier. This is what it said:
A witch, as powerful as the Dark Lord himself, will marry a half-elf. Together they will have two children: Twins. These twins shall be born when the stars of Kallisto burn the brightest. The witch will see her children for all of one year, when the Dark Lord will come. He will kill her and her friends. Her friends will die trying to save their own son, who will put an end to his reign of terror.
The half-elf, in hiding with his two children, will make sure they will be safe until they are ready to understand what they are to do. Together they are the most powerful elf or witch, apart they are still strong and powerful, though not as much.
The twins will reappear when the Dark Lord rises again. They will bring back a boy's parents, on accident. Their enemies do not reveal themselves at first. In time their true identities will appear. One will stay on the light, and the other to the dark."
The room was silent. Audra's mouth literally was hanging so low it was hitting the ground. Harry looked, shocked, although not as shocked as Audra. Draco just nodded his head. His face void of any emotion. Then he spoke.
"My father, he mentioned that the final downfall of Voldermort, would be caused by two children. When this was mentioned to Lord Voldermort, he immediately thought of Harry and Hermonie. Since well, you know," he paused, as the people in the room nodded their heads, before continuing, "But then when he reread the pages that were ripped out of the diary, he knew it was those two."
"So? What does this have to with anything?" Harry asked.
"He means that the enemy, the traitor is Chad. He went to the dark side. Together they are the most powerful. And that power could be used for good or for evil," Audra said, slowly, then gave a small gasp in understanding.
"The stunt he pulled today, wasn't because he wanted to scare the wizarding world, but it was to get her to come. Then he figured that he could get her to join him, if Chad already did. If he had them together, then he could control them and their power. Making him invincible," Harry finished.
"Yes, that is what we can figure out," James said.
"But why doesn't he just use the Imperious Curse on them? Control them that way?" Audra asked.
"He needs them to join him willingly," Draco said.
"Why?" Harry asked.
"I'm not sure, why. But I do know that it's time fore every one to rest," Dumbledore said sternly.
As Audra walked to the common room, she realized something. Renee had her eye. The eye and the necklace. The necklace that her mom gave her. The green eye that she always wore around her neck, Draco had found and had given back to her.
Audra gave Renee the eye necklace for as some sort of present. She had told her that she had gotten it from Disneyland. In truth she had gotten it from Diagon Alley. It supposedly would turn colors when you were in the presence of an enemy. Now, Audra had told her that, and she had also said that she wasn't sure if it would work. In fact the eye would turn to a deep maroon. Hopefully Renee would figure it out.
Sighing she said the password. Almost instantly she was bombarded with questions. The common room was filled with questions filled with concern from friends, or curiosity from others. The noise got louder and louder until, a shrill whistle filled the air. The noise came to a stop instantly.
"Ok, here's what I'll tell you before I go to bed. First off, everyone is fine. This includes Harry. Second, I am not sure about Renee, considering the fact that she well, isn't here. So good night, have fun, good bye."
She turned to the dormitories and soon found her bed. Falling asleep instantly, she had not seen that Snuffles was in the room. If she had she would have noticed the piece of parchment in his mouth.
