Chapter 13

Wood looked up at his opponent. "Who are you?" Wood asked. The man growled. "Never mind that." He said standing up and turning to Angelina. "You bring a lady to these parts of the world. You must be stupid." Wood stood up. "WHO ARE YOU?" He repeated. The man studied Angelina. "You play quidditch." He said as if telling her for the first time. "You must be a chaser. A beater or a seeker is not a job for a woman. Your confident, but your afraid of me.aren't you?" Angelina gulped. The man turned towards Wood.

"I am Sirius." He simply said. "Who's in that castle that you need?" Wood gulped. "Two of our friends." He told Sirius flatly. "WHO?" Sirius asked again. Angelina opened her mouth. "Andilynn Ravenclaw, and Kate Gryffiondor." Sirius turned to her with a white pale face. "I was afraid of that." He whispered.

*

Andi heard her name and Kate's name echoing through the walls. Hufflepuff was yet again looking at her. "What?" Andi asked. Hufflepuff pointed to her hair. Andi then realized that is was being held up by Bobby Pins!

Andi struggled to pull them free, She did and tossed them to Kate and Hufflepuff, then started to work on her chains.

Kate's snapped off. She rubbed her wrists then slowly stood to help Hufflepuff. Andi's snapped open next then Hufflepuff. "Thank you." He said to her. Andi shrugged. "It's no big deal, now lets try and unlock the door."

*

Sirius showed Wood and Angelina a way to get into the castle. Wood grabbed his wand, only to find it was gone. Wood didn't panic just yet. Angelina was a big help on opening the doors. Then when they got into the main tunnel Sirius dissappeared.

Suddenly his head appeared. "Com'on." He said and pulled Angelina in. Wood, who had given up on reality, jumped into the darkness after him.

As he plunged into the darkness he realized he didn't love Angelina. What an odd time to notice that.

*

Hufflepuff, Kate and Andi were all running through a dark corridor, hope flowing through them, that Rowinda would not catch them. Hufflepuff suddenly fell into the floor, Kate lost her balance and Andi and Kate toppled into the darkenss.

Andi felt hr stomach for the first time since she came here. She was somehow reminded of Nokia when she saw the floor coming. As Andi landed on the cold floor she heard a loud, cold, echoing scream.

Hufflepuff stood up gasping. "That was the sound of a pissed off Rowinda." Then he turned down the hall in front of them. "Run." He whispered and they all ran.

Kate elbowed Andi as they ran after Hufflepuff. "It seems kinda hard to believe him." She said. Andi looked at her. "It seems hard to give Nokia a second chance but we do anyway." Kate smiled. "Good point."

*

Sirius and Angelina had landed on the cold stone floor, Wood following. Sirius flinched as Wood landed on his leg. "That'll hurt tommrow." Sirius said. This was not his first attempt to make a joke. It was actually his tenth or eleventh time. Wood gave him a half smile. (Again.) Then hurried up to Angelina who had sweat on her brow. Wood looked at her, then with out looking he hit a wall.

"Told ya not to bring a woman here." Sirius said running past Wood. Wood looked at him. "You told me a bit late didn't ya?" He asked in a sarcastic tone. He pulled himself off the wall then ran by Angelina once more.

"How do you have faith in him?" Wood asked. Angelina looked at Wood. "Follow your heart." Wood looked at her. "I followed my heart once, and it lead me to heart ache. I can't believe I'm saving this freak."
