Slowly, Harry came back into consciousness. He was

surrounded by silence so dense that if he had had the strength to cry out, it wouldn't be heard. He groped in the darkness for his glasses, which seemed to

have fallen off. Harry jumped as something fuzzy, yet slimy, quick,

and yet slow, small but large escaped from under his hands. Heart

pounding like a drum in his ears, he continued his search. Finding

them, he picked up the dust-covered lenses and put them on, doing his

best to wipe them off on his already soot-stained shirt. Wearily, feeling

every bone in his body scream with pain, Harry sat up and looked

around at his surroundings. He found that he was in some sort of a

catacomb, in one of the chambers. The chamber was very small, only

about 10 feet wide and 6 feet tall. Covered in cobwebs and dust from

floor to ceiling, the room looked as if it was hundreds of years old.

Sitting back on his hands, Harry's fingers brushed by a narrow piece

of wood, bringing a warm and familiar sensation that seemed to flow

through his fingers into his veins. It was his wand! How did it get

there? Harry took the wand and found a slip of parchment that had

writing on it, but it was too dark to read. Visions passed through

Harry's head of being expelled from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft

and Wizardry for using magic, but his gut feeling told him that he was

not supposed to be here, and magic would be necessary. "Lumos,"

Harry whispered, almost afraid to be heard. A narrow beam of light

appeared from the end of Harry's wand. He sat down to read the

letter:



You find yourself here in the catacomb, Remember now, you are not alone. If this maze you exit not, Here forever your corpse will rot. You managed to escape Fluffy's claws; Even escaped dear Nagini's jaws. But will you survive this final test, Or here will your victories come to rest? Enough to make your stomach churn; You have now entered The Maze of No Return. Yours Truly, Lord Voldemort

Harry put the letter down, his heart in his throat. His suspicions had been

confirmed. Voldemort was behind this all. Does the man ever give up?

So absorbed in reading the letter over and over again, Harry didn't hear the

door slowly unlatch and a figure come in. An icy cold hand touched his

shoulder. Before he could scream, a hand covered his mouth.

"Harry....", the rasping voice choked.

Sorry folks, for now that's it.hehe yeah I did have to leave you on a

cliffhanger.I'm sorry, don't be mad at me! ;) If ya wanna find out what

happens next, well, you're just gonna have to be patient, now aren't ya?
