In Dreams
Chapter 8
They were all breathing heavy by the time they stopped running. They had turned right and left, run through so many tunnels and caverns that they had lost all sense of direction and time. All they had known was that they needed to escape, that their lives were in imminent danger.
The cavern that they had stopped to rest in, more by necessity than will, was dark, pitch black. It was impossible to see how big it was or where the other tunnels were that lead out from it were. It was only by the labored breathing of each one that they knew they were side by side.
"Do you think we lost him?" panted Ginny.
"I don't," began Harry taking in another mouthful of air, "I don't think so. That would be too easy."
"I'm sure he knows this place thoroughly," said Hermione.
"Yeah. Why else would be bring us here unless he didn't own the quidditch field?" added Ron sarcastically.
"Well what to we do now?" asked Ginny. To that question, none of them had any answer.
Finally Ron, who could no longer stand the darkness pulled out his wand and yelled, "Luminos!" The brilliant glow from his wand illuminated the cavern. They all looked around in wonder and their hearts sank soon after. The cavern that they had run into had only one exit and that was the entrance that had only a few minutes earlier come through. They were trapped and the sounds of footfalls were getting closer.
Seconds later, Voldemort walked into the entrance way, Ron felt an icy chill pass through him as goose bumps rose across his arms and legs. He stole one nervous, fearful glance at Hermione and then turned his attention back to He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. His nightmare was becoming a reality. Ron steeled himself. This time it was going to have a different ending.
