The cloaked figure walked towards Harry, his wand ready for anything. Harry didn't move from where he stood. He held his wand firm in front of him.
"And who are you?" Harry said, confidently.
"Let's just say that I am a close friend of an old friend of yours…" the man said.
"Harry…" said Ron, pointing at Audrey, who was now floating unconsciously towards the edge.
"Audrey!" Harry yelled, starting towards her, but he was held back by the invisible bonds of the man.
"Let me GO!" Harry yelled at the man.
"Harry please, do you really think it's that simple. 'Let me go'…please, I thought you would know better." said Cho walking towards them.
"Why are you doing this?" Hermione asked Cho, her tone icy, unlike her usual tone.
"It's quite simple really. Last year, when Harry killed Cedric, I felt empty. Hogwarts offered no comfort and the people here don't seem interested in punishing him…"
"I DIDN'T KILL CEDRIC!!"
"Shut up. There was only one person who offered me revenge, as well as everything I have ever dreamed of. Voldemort and his people. So I decided to serve him, and as a token of my gratitude I decided to bring him your head in a jar. It was going to be quite easy, you always drooling over me. But then that hag Audrey came, and you didn't so much as look at me. But when I found out that precious Audrey was no less than Dumbledore's daughter, I couldn't resist myself. My master would reward me in ways unimaginable to anyone. So me and Kein decided to plan this little party. Kein transfigured into me to get into the castle while I seduced Idiot Malfoy. After, we used essence of Malfoy to prepare the polyjuice potion for Kein as there very well couldn't be two Cho's in Hogwarts. So we ditched Malfoy, poisoned and grabbed Audrey, and here we are."
"And I'm guessing you are Kein?" said Ron towards the man.
"Yes, sole heir to the greatness of my Lord"
But Harry wasn't paying attention, he focused on Audrey's unconscious body as it kept getting closer to the edge. He had no clue how to stop her, he didn't even know how they were doing it.
"Worried Potter? Worried that your little girlfriend will go 'splat'? I wonder…will she die BEFORE she hit's the ground? Or will the crash shatter her tiny bones into a slow painful death…?" Cho said with a seriously evil grin on her face.
"Let her go. It's me you want…" pleaded Harry, his eyes never leaving Audrey, who was now on the very ledge.
"I want you both Harry…" said Cho.
Audrey's body now hanged on top of the ledge, nothing keeping her from falling but Kein.
"Cho don't do this! Voldemort will never be interested in rewarding you! He just wants you to do his dirty work so then he can discard you, just like he does everyone else!" yelled Hermione.
"Shut up!" Cho screamed
"You know she's right! You can't trust Voldemort and you know it!" said Ron, glowing a very angry red.
"Ahhh!" Cho lunged towards Hermione and Ron, (needless to say) irritated by their words.
Kein's concentration shifted from Audrey to Cho and her 'power struggle'. Harry took this chance and lunged towards Kein.
Startled, Kein dropped his wand. Audrey fell to the floor, still unconscious.
Kein was much stronger than Harry, but Harry persisted. Kein's punches landed everywhere in Harry's body with great force. Kein's force took Harry by surprise, but he wasn't discouraged, after all, Harry wasn't a 'weakling' himself. And his throws also startled Kein.
Cho was being pinned down by Ron and Hermione.
"Let go of me!!"
"You should've thought about that BEFORE you tried to kill us…" said Hermione, her hair all over the place.
"Or shut us up…" said Ron, who had a few scratched here and there.
With Cho 'taken cared of' Hermione and Ron focused their attention at Harry and Kein. Kein's strength advantage over Harry was beginning to take it's toll. With one final bloody punch Harry landed with a grunt on the floor.
"That should teach you to mess with Voldemort's own blood!" Kein kept his eyes on Harry bent over on the floor. Harry's eyes, however followed Hermione…
