A Day in the life of the Hospital Wing
Chapter 8
"Stick together" Tal instructed, slightly surprised at being able to tell others what to do "We're nearly…"
"Tal!" a voice, obviously Voldemort, shouted "How nice of you to bring me my enemies!" he laughed happily. The group looked at each other, quickly realising they had walked into a trap. Voldemort approached Tal, who nervously backed away. "Move!" he shouted, indicating over his shoulder. Tal looked behind her. Fred and George looked weakly at her, disbelief in their eyes. Harry and Ron were staring at Voldemort. Dumbledore and Snape just looked astounded. When Tal didn't move, Voldemort struck her around the face and she fell to the side.
Fred and George glanced at each other, "Shows where the bruises came from" George muttered.
"You took your time Dumbledore. I was expecting you to be here ages ago. It did seem as though you didn't care, as it took two of your students being abducted to get you here" Voldemort seemed to realise how long he had been talking and stopped. By the end of this 'speech', everyone was inside the cave.
"Hermione! Are you alright?" Ron exclaimed, looking around Fred to get a better view and seeing her chained to the wall.
"Mr Weasley, please hold your tongue" Snape snapped, effectively silencing Ron,
"Ah yes, Severus" said Voldemort, turning to Snape "It appears that you are still doing your job and acting as a 'double agent'"
"I see you are still trying to delay the inevitable" Snape retorted, annoyed. He quickly drew his wand "You haven't even tried to take us on"
It actually seemed that Voldemort was slightly intimidated "Oh come on Severus, you expect me to take you all on, it's seven against two. Give me one of you and I'll willingly take them on"
"Severus, don't let him get to you" Dumbledore said at last, holding back an almost fuming Snape.
"Fine, I won't try to stop you saving yourselves, though you will not get very far. Matolov, do it" Voldemort appeared to have spoken to someone behind the group. Dom stepped forward, unperturbed by the use of her middle name and quickly drew a wand from inside her robe.
"No!" yelled Tal, taking the wand from Harry's hand and shakily pointing it at Dom.
"You don't seem very confident, Tal. Do you think that you can take me" Dom teased. She pointed the wand at the rest of the group and yelled 'Crucio' as, at the same time, Tal pointed Harry's wand at Dom and shouted 'Expeliramus'. Dom's aim went haywire, making her hit Malfoy who, still chained to the wall, gave an ear-splitting screech and fell unconscious yet again. Tal's disarming spell worked impeccably. Dom flew through the entrance to the cave and landed, sprawled on the forest floor. The wand she had used, Malfoy's, lay forgotten on the floor. Now, Voldemort seemed to be worried.
"Harry, Ron, please seal the entrance." Dumbledore said quietly over his shoulder, now concentrating on Voldemort "There is no escape now, Tom." As Voldemort's face turned to surprise at the use of his real name, Harry and Ron moved toward the entrance. Harry quickly took, almost snatched, his wand back from Tal. They then moved rocks to block the opening, checking that before they sealed the gap, Dom was still on the ground.
No-one moved for several seconds, seconds that lasted an eternity. Suddenly, Fred and George screamed. Dom had re-entered the cave and had apparently put the Cruciatus curse on them again. This unmistakable torture was enough of a distraction for Voldemort to say a sarcastic goodbye and disappear, right under the points of Dumbledore's and Snape's wands.
"I guess I forgot to tell you she can walk through walls" Tal said quickly, breaking the silence. Snape looked furious, everyone else was in disbelief.
"What a sight!" said Dom, trying to stop herself laughing "Hogwarts' finest stumped by a little disappearing act!" All the wands in the room quickly turned on Dom, who dropped the four wands she was still carrying, one at a time.
"You do realise your actions will put you in Azkaban for life" Dumbledore said quietly.
"No Dumbledore, we've fooled you again" Dom said, pleased "I drank a deadly poison only moments ago. I'll live no more than a few days longer" No-one spoke after this. Dumbledore drew a stretcher in thin air to carry Malfoy. All wands were returned to their correct owners and everyone counted themselves lucky to have survived, except Mrs Norris, of course.
