Finding New Means

Chapter 2: The Plan

Harry Potter screamed in agony as he experienced the pain of the Cruciatus Curse for the third time in two days. He had been through nothing but torture in that damp coml. Chamber that Voldemort kept him captive in. The worst part was that the Dark Lord never let him out of his and Harry's scar was constantly throbbing painfully. Voldemort had a red throne with snakes carved in the back of the chair and had a green velvet cushion on it. As Harry spent day after agonizing day in the chamber he started to get weak as his strength slowly left him from the poor amount of sleep and food and the pain from the Cruciatus curse that was performed on him at least twice a day. He grew numerous amounts of cuts, bruises, concussions and cracked ribs as he was thrown against the jagged stone walls day after day. What made it worse was the fact that he was slowly getting sick from the cold of the chamber. He knew he was getting worse and would have no chance of getting out alive if he waited much longer. So he formulated a plan that looked like the last resort as all of his would be needed to put the plan into action.

After Ron and Hermione found out about Harry being kidnapped they were shocked. Their friend, their brave, strong friend had been kidnapped by the Dark Lord. They shuddered at the thought of what he must be going through that is, if he was still alive as he didn't have his wand. A week after they received the news they were losing hope as no one had seen their friend and it was disheartening. They heard of Sirius's trial and they went to give him support. Sirius looked distressed, as though he had lost the most important thing to him, which, they reasoned, he had. Even through all this he kept his composure and did not show one bit of nervousness throughout the whole trial. They called up the witness who had seen Peter and then they called up Sirius to recount those last months before Lily and James deaths. He recalled how they had changed their secret keeper from him to Peter and how Peter had betrayed James and Lily to the Dark Lord. In the end he was set free and it was a very happy and also mournful day as Harry was not there to celebrate it with him and Ron and Hermione felt deep sorrow for Sirius because of this.

Harry had to keep himself away from all the Death Eaters that dreary Monday morning as he was planning on setting his escape plan into action so he needed all his energy. He did nothing to make them angry and followed their orders as soon as they were given. Unfortunately, that night, Voldemort realized why he was behaving so well and went about setting the Cruciatus Curse on him. Harry saw the curse coming and closed his eyes and set his mind on blocking the curse. Just then something amazing happened. He could hear gasps and a funny crackling noise and when he opened his eyes he was astonished at what he saw. All around him was a yellow, hazy mist and the Dark Lord looked furious. He could guess, form the look Voldemort was giving him, that he had succeeded in blocking the Cruciatus Curse. The Death Eaters all sprang into action at once and started sending curse after curse his way. The shield held up for a while but after being hit by nearly twenty five Cruciatus Curses it got weak and collapsed and he was forced to fist fight the Death Eaters. He punched a few Death Eaters in their stomachs knocking the wind out of them and forcing them to sit down and gasp for breath. He went to punch Lucius Malfoy in the jaw but Lucius caught his right hand in mid-air and twisted it until he heard the sickening crack of Harry's shoulder breaking. Harry screamed in pain but quickly recovered as he knew this was his only chance to get away. He swung his left fist up hitting Lucius' nose and breaking it. Lucius was distracted and Harry used this time to think of all the Death Eaters and Voldemort stunned. He figured that if it had worked last time it would have to work this time. He heard all at once about fifty bodies drop....
