Meeting Old Enemies
The four took their O.W.L. exams but they wouldn't get their results until mid-summer. Their pranks continued but nothing to evil, just an exploding dung bomb or a firework that exploded when the covers were pulled down on the bed. Now that the O.W.L. exams were over they relaxed more. Sara was still having a good time in first grade.
The Weasleys didn't really understand her schoolwork, but she managed to get E for excellent in everything even without their help. Mrs. Weasley was upset when she looked at the report card, but Harry explained that in elementary school the grades are E for excellent, S for satisfactory, and N for needs improvement or not satisfactory. Mrs. Weasley smiled after this and baked Sara a cake for her good grades.
Danielle was looking forward to spending the summer with Sara and Ron. Dumbledore insisted that Harry go to his relatives' house for the summer. Danielle promised to come visit him; after all they were her relatives also.
School was coming to a close. There was only a week and a half left, the exams were over, but there were still classes to go to and summer homework to give out, that kind of stuff.
One day Danielle went to the bathroom telling Ron and Harry that she would catch up to them at Divination. As she rounded the corner, she ran straight into Malfoy.
"Oh, sorry, I didn't see you," she said getting to her feet and starting to continue on. Malfoy shot his hand out and stopped her.
"What's your hurry?" He said in a tone that really scared Danielle. Danielle didn't say anything. "I want to show you something," he said reaching into his bag and pulling out a piece of cloth. Before she could stop him he had it over her mouth and Danielle's saw no more.
Danielle woke up in a living room. Her head hurt and she didn't want to wake up. She heard an argument in another room.
"But dad," she could hear Malfoy saying, "I did everything you told me to. You told me to put the cloth over her mouth and nose and when she was unconscious to bring her here. What did I do wrong?"
Danielle heard someone getting hit across the face, she knew the sound well.
"You're just a stupid boy, I don't know why he trusted you with a mission like this." A deeper but still cold voice said. Danielle assumed this was Mr. Malfoy.
Suddenly Draco Malfoy was in the living room; he saw her lying to the floor holding her head and laughed.
"Dad, " he called, "She's awake."
Mr. Malfoy walked quickly into the room. He smiled coldly down at the crumpled girl. Danielle was scared of him; his smile was evil more evil than Mr. Hunt's smile.
She quickly muttered something under her breath and the pounding in her head stopped and the gash across her forehead healed.
"I thought I told you to take her wand away." Mr. Malfoy spat at his son.
"I did, it's right here" Malfoy said holding up her wand.
Danielle had placed a memory charm on him about the wandless magic and was now glad she did.
"How did you do that?" Mr. Malfoy said grabbing Danielle's wrists sharply causing her to cry out in pain. Suddenly he let her go and gripped his right arm.
"It doesn't matter, we have a party to get to, one where you are the guest of honor." He smiled evilly again and suddenly all three were in a dark forest.
The moonlight managed to make it through a few places allowing Danielle to be able to see what was going on. There were full grown wizards and witches all around her.
Mr. Malfoy stepped into the circle that had surrounded them and pulled his son with him.
"Danielle Lynn Potter," Danielle heard her name and tuned to see a tall man with evil red eyes that looked like a snake. Danielle was scared of this man, she could feel that he hated her much like she could feel Mr. Hunt hated her.
Danielle in a sudden burst of rational thought called Harry. "Harry!?" she screamed into her mind. "I need help, get on your broom and follow Hedwig, she'll be able to find me. Please hurry, I'm really scared." She cried to him.
"Okay, I'm coming, but what's wrong?" He called back.
"Malfoy kidnapped me and now I'm in this dark forest without my wand and there are all these other mean looking people around, please help, I'm really scared."
Harry could tell Danielle was on the brink of tears. "I'm on my way, don't worry, I won't let them hurt you." Harry called. Harry and Hedwig were flying as fast as they could manage.
Harry's words didn't calm her. She knew she was far from school and it would take him some time to get there. She went into tough girl mode; she wouldn't let these men see her cry. She could take a lot of pain and she would be prepared for it when it came.
"Do you know who I am?" the man asked her in a cold high-pitched voice. Danielle didn't trust her voice so she only shook her head no.
"My name is Lord Voldemort." He said simply. He expected her to jump or looked shocked or even scared, but she just nodded that she had heard him.
"You are not scared of me?" he asked her seeing this. Danielle shook her head no again. She wasn't going to let him see how scared she was.
"Crucio." The voice yelled.
Red sparks flew from his wand and Danielle braced herself, but when they hit her they gave her a pleasant feeling, like the first sip of hot butter beer. She smiled slightly with the feeling.
The death eaters around the circle looked at Voldemort for an explanation, but he was just as shocked as them.
When Danielle looked into those eyes the happiness the sparks had given faded and she realized once again where she was. Voldemort tried the imperius curse but that had the same effect.
Danielle suddenly remembered why. Dumbledore told her that magic from a brother wand would have no effect on the sister wand or the owner of the sister wand. He couldn't hurt her, but the same was true for her, she couldn't hurt him. Not that she had her wand anyways.
Danielle knew that she had to think of something. Dumbledore said the magic from the wand wouldn't affect Voldemort, but maybe her wandless magic could. But she hadn't had a chance to really try the wandless magic that she could do.
She thought it was worth a try she muttered the same curse that she had used to throw Mr. Hunt against the wall and Voldemort crashed into the circle of death eaters.
Danielle laughed to herself, but not out loud. She knew she couldn't protect herself for long against all the wizards and witches around her.
Voldemort was helped to his feet and advanced on Danielle. Danielle stood her ground still not wanting to show her fear. She forced herself to look into those evil red eyes and not look away. Voldemort slapped her face so hard she fell to the ground.
He laughed an evil cold laugh and said, "Just a stupid weak girl, just like your mother." He said looking down on her.
Danielle was mad, no one had ever insulted her mother in her presence. She got to her feet and stared at Him again.
"Love makes you weak, makes you vulnerable." He spat at her.
Danielle stuck with a newfound courage and still raging from the insult, finally found her voice. "And love is what almost killed you 15 years ago, the love of my mother saved me and my brother and reduced you to something so helpless that you had inhabit snakes to stay alive."
Her voice sounded calm, almost pitying. Voldemort just stared more evilly at her.
"Yes," he said finally, "and look what her sacrifice got her, I'm back and I'm not going to be so careless again. I will still kill you and your stupid brother the same way I killed your parents."
Voldemort looked at her, he didn't know what he expected her do to, but he didn't expect her to just stand there and continue to stare at him.
"You aren't scared of death?" He asked her holding his wand right in front of her. She knew the curse wouldn't work so she said calmly sill looking in his eyes, "No."
"Foolish little girl," he spat, "you have no mother here to die for you, no one else here to protect you, you're helpless and yet you are not scared. Bravery won't save you."
Danielle didn't break the stare, "I don't need someone to protect me, just because I'm girl doesn't mean I'm weak. I've been taken care of myself almost all my life. Do what you want." Danielle said her voice still calm.
"Advada Kedavra." Voldemort shouted and a flash of green light filled the air.
Danielle shielded her eyes from the flash. When she could see again, a death eater was laying on the ground dead.
"I guess you missed." Danielle said before she could stop herself. Voldemort glared at her and advance on her again. She still stood where she was.
"Harry," Danielle said in her mind, "when you get here, stay in the bushes hidden until I call you, no matter what you see, stay hidden." She heard Harry agree and went back to focusing on Voldemort.
He was an inch away from her face but she maintained eye contact.
"I was going to kill you the same way as I killed your parents, but for some reason you seem to be immune to my magic. No matter there are other ways to kill you." He spat at her and grabbed her neck and tired to strangle her.
Danielle struggled against him, but she knew it was no use. He was physically stronger than her.
"Advada Kedavra" She yelled looking at him. It didn't work like the spell was supposed to, but it did throw him back hard against the ground.
Harry got there right then, "Danielle I'm here, just let me know what I can do to help."
"Thanks Harry, I don't have a plan yet, but this seems to be working for holding him off." She told him.
Voldemort got slowly to his feet. "Wandless magic, it's not always as reliable as magic with a wand. That spell should have killed me." He said almost laughing.
"My intention wasn't to kill you." Danielle said simply, knowing full well that she wouldn't have lost sleep over it if the spell had worked.
Harry was in the bushes shocked. Danielle was in the middle of almost thirty Death Eaters, face to face with Voldemort and she was talking back to him. True she didn't know what he was capable of, but he thought he had explained about Voldemort better than that.
Voldemort grabbed at her again, catching her off guard as Danielle was working on a plan with Harry.
He was choking her and she started to panic. She didn't want to get Harry in the middle of this until she had to but she didn't have another option.
"Harry, I'm going to throw him hard across this circle, right now all I want to do is get away from him, we'll escape on your broom. Just let me be on the back of the broom, go"
Just then Voldemort flew hard across the circle. His head hit the tree with a loud crack. The Death Eaters ran to his aid and Harry flew out on his broom. Danielle jumped on and they flew off.
Danielle sent stunning spells back in the direction they had just left. Harry flew slow enough that she hit all the death eater and they all collapsed stunned and Voldemort lay there unconscious.
Danielle was in complete shock. He hadn't really done anything to hurt her badly, but it took all her strength to be that brave.
Harry was only worried about Danielle. He started flying even faster when he felt Danielle collapse on to his back. Hedwig landed on the front of the broom and the three sped back to Hogwarts
