She, now, knew what she had to do. She had to get Harry and Ginny out of
there. She had to know why her father would do this to her. She didn't know
she had suddenly realized, but she did. She knew that, if she didn't get
out, she would die. She wondered why her father was willing to kill off the
heir to Slytherin. She sat, thinking, only half listening to the battle
that was going on between her loving brother, and her father. She thought
of Ginny, and Hermione, and Ron, and Harry. She thought of Piers, and how
Hermione got into the Slytherin Tower. She thought about Hermione's answer
when she was under the influence of the truth potion. Then she thought of
the answer that she said when she wasn't. Nothing fit.
The battle between Harry and Tom Riddle continued. But Harry was losing badly. He had been hit with the caturcus curse twice. He was losing strength. He couldn't carry on much longer. Ginny was still hanging in the tree, eyes bulging. She was watching Harry with great caution. 'No,' Hannah thought, 'Not Harry, she is watching TOM!' Worry was welling up in Ginny's eyes. 'Why would Ginny be worried for Voldemort?' wondered Hannah. Harry was trying to catch his breath.
"HARRY!" bellowed Hannah "ON YOUR LEFT!" He spun around just in time to see Voldemort raise his wand and open his mouth. Harry dodged the curse by hiding behind a tree. Blood was trickling from his upper right cheek. It had stained his robe already. Hannah's eyes flickered to Ginny to see if she was okay also. An odd look was set on Ginny's face. Was it evil? Hannah didn't know.
A thought struck Hannah. How did Hermione know what Hannah was doing that night? More over, how did Hermione know that Hannah was going to the Slytherin. Hannah was taking bits and pieces, and putting them into the puzzle. There was about one tenth of the puzzle completed. She was placing information and guess work into the puzzle, hoping for it to fit together. She tried a few times. She didn't know how the information was getting to people that did not fit into the puzzle.
"Hannah!" hissed Ginny, "Come here!" Hannah edged over to the tree that Ginny was tied to. "Cut the rope with your wand!" she urged, "go on!" she told Hannah after seeing her reluctant face, "it won't hurt me!"
"How do I know that you are not tricking me?"
"Do you not trust me?" inquired Ginny.
"I don't know if I trust anyone. You promise not to hurt me?"
"I promise! But this rope is cutting into my wrists! And it really hurts!" Hannah pulled her wand out of her pocket. She muttered a few words. The rope snapped, and Ginny fell to the ground. Ginny hit the ground, and caught herself. She stood, and clutched her wrist.
"I think it is broken." whispered Ginny. "We better find out who is behind all of this."
"What do you mean?" asked Hannah.
"Well, obviously, you are not behind all of this. You won't trust anyone. You don't know what is going on. Truthfully."
"No, your right." replied Hannah. Ginny lead Hannah away from the main battle. They went to the back of the circle.
"Longbottm! Can you let us go?"
"No," replied Longbottom, "you need the password." a small smile crept up on his face. Not a mean smile, but a playful one.
"I won't obey!" said Ginny forcefully. Hannah looked at Longbottm in worry, but he just backed up, and let them pass.
"Was that Frank Longbottom?" asked Hannah.
"Yup, that very one!" replied Ginny.
"Neville Longbottom's father?" asked Hannah. Ginny nodded. "Whoa. What is he doing as a Death Eater?"
"He isn't a Death Eater. He is just playing as one. He was here to get us out."
"Oh." said Hannah. "OH!" and she took off in the direction of the castle, Ginny running a few feet behind her.
"Where are we going?" panted Ginny.
"Dumbledores office!" replied Hannah.
"Why?"
"Ginny?"
"Yeah?"
"It was Hermione!" breathed Hannah.
