Chapter-9

Disclaimer: If I did own harry potter, no one would read it because it would all
end up in some strange soap-opera style thing...

Author Note: THANK YOU!* hugs all her readers* THANKS SOOO MUCH, and by popular
request, I have hung onto my poor captives after they got back from
their romp in the lilacs even though my wonderful, awesome readers
gave me 77 reviews!Can ya'll be wonderful again and let me get to 85?
Again, I can't spell worth a damn, and I probably will never learn
to spell...but hey, live or flame ( flames are reviews too!)Also, the
Diamond isn't gone...oh no it's not! It has a HUGE part in the beginning
of this chapter, and it has another big part in a few chapters...lastly
go Halley Barry! (probably spelled that wrong) Though I still believe LOTR
should have got best film, a beautiful mind was good too!

Draco:Good lord...of all the captors

Harry:Calm love, she'll be fine once the fever goes down

290:both of you! The chapter's starting...hush!

With no further ado...

Chapter 9-Powers hidden


Harry watched Voldemort calmly while his inner self recoiled in fear. Draco stood next
to him and gripped his shoulder, a comfort which didn't go unoticed by either of the
boys. The hodded figure walked over to Harry,who watched him with girm eyes, and ran
a finger across his cheek. The raven-haired boy clenched his jaw but kept his tounge.

"You see Potter," Voldemort whispered, his voice deadly and quiet."The thing that has
allowed you to beat me all these years is gone!I can touch your skin without any harm
to myself, I can do whatever I want with you in this place, you are helpless against
me, and wandless I might add,"

Draco watched his master with cold eyes that hid the thoughts that raced through
his head.//He's right you know, we have no power against him, we're going to die//Harry
seemed to sense his emotions and offered him a reassuring look.

Harry lowered his hand into his cloak pocket, and pulled out a small something that
glittered in the blood-red light. The thin golden chain was secured in his fingers
and Draco drew a quick breath.

"You see voldemort,"The gryffindor spat the name as if it were a curse, "You think only
the fact that my mother died for me was how you couldn't defeat me, you never stopped
to think about the possibility for someone else to have that kind of love for me,"His
emerald eyes watched with malice as a dawnign realisation flicked across the dark-lord's
face. "I am not helpless against you, nor will I ever be,"

Slowly Harry opened his hand to reveal the diamond that lay sparkling in his palm. It's
crystaline serface caught the light of the rust-colored sky and reflected it into
thousands of tiny rainbows. Voldemort hissed at the gem and drew forward his wand.
Without thinking Draco pulled out his diamond and held it out paralell to Harry's
hand.

A soft, ringing song erupted into the air, it's melody like thousands of crystal bells
that burst into the desolate land and brought light. A shower of emerald and silver
sparks enveloped the two boys creating a shimmering barrier between the hooded figure
and themselves. The sound of soft bells grew ever louder filling the land with a sort
of peace and tranquility.

From inside the shimmering dome of light Harry and Draco watched in fasinated horror as
Voldemort raised his wand and screamed the spell that had taken so many lives over the
music of the bells. The burst of bright green roared towards the dome, the forces of
magic met in a sound of a painful screech, the emerald and silver flickering and glowing
while the bright green sought a way to enter the fortress. Circling the sphere it turned
and lashed into the being that had casted it, causing the man to fall with a muffled cry.

The light-barrier fell away and the sound of the bells died in the air, leaving only the
sound of the harsh wind tearing into the tops of the trees. Harry stepped forward slowly
and knelt next to the fallen form, one of his hand reached forward shakely-Draco noticed
and was slightly relieved that he wasn't the only one affected-and touched the cold cheek.

"Dead," Harry stated looking over his shoulder at Draco. Slowly the raven-haired boy reached
down and picked the wand from the pale fingers holding it at arms length. He brought his
other hand to the wood and pressed down, snapping the thing in two, showering the splinters
across the dead body. The land around them suddenly began to fade, as paint rolls off a
canvas, the wind became only a noise and the trees nothign more than a dull 2-D version
of what they had been.

The feeling of hard, cold ground brought the boys to their senses and the regaurded
eachother with wondering eyes. Draco was the first to speak, his voice was dry and sounded
like it hadn't been used in awhile.

"How...How did you know that I gave you the Diamond?...
