'What-?' Harry gasped, while turning around, but the door was gone. 'HERMIONE!!!' he screamed, feeling the wall as if he could step right through it. 'HER-MIO-NEEE!!!' he screamed louder, expected Hermione to answer. But she didn't. He stopped screaming and sighed, turning his back to the wall and discovering a large white room, almost empty except for a pool filled with clear blue, almost too blue, water. Across the water was a white door, almost invisible except for the doorknob, which was grey. He narrowed his eyes. Something was wrong about this room,...
Hermione couldn't breath; the snake had wrapped its tail around her waist and was blocking her breathing. Her arms were lose; she could get her wand, if she could just reach her pocket,... the snake suddenly lifted her high into the air and dropped her to the floor.
'L-Luna? Luna Lovegood?' Ron gasped of surprise after releasing an enormous sigh to the narrow escape. 'I knew you would remember me Ronald Weasley' Luna said. Ron frowned. As if he would forget the most strangest person on earth. 'How did you find me? What are you doing here?' Ron asked. Luna smiled. 'My father is headmaster, I know the way, do you want out?' she asked. Ron nodded surprised and followed Luna to a door.
'Harry Potter, finally,...' a high and dark voice said from somewhere. Harry's eyes widened and he looked around. There was no one here, but that voice,.. it sounded like... 'Yes it's me Harry....' the voice answered to Harry's unasked question. Harry swallowed his fear. Even if this was the Dark Lord, even if this was Voldemort,... he felt strong. Stronger than before. 'Show yourself!' Harry was amazed by his own bravery. 'Who says I need too? I can torture you without showing myself to you,.... how about it Harry? Do you want to FEEL what it's like,.. being tortured? I'm sure you don't know what real torture is,...' the voice made Harry shiver. This WAS Voldemort. And Harry was alone,...
Hermione quickly grabbed her wand and yelled 'Petrificus Totalus!' but missed. The snake circled around her. Hermione aimed again, and quickly yelled 'PETRIFI-' the snake suddenly attacked her. It opened his beak and bit her arm. 'ARGH! You,.. animal!' Hermione cried. Her arm was bleeding and she almost dropped her wand. The snake circled around her again. Hermione breathed heavily, sweat dripping and holding her left arm weakly down. 'Pe-Pe...trifi...' Hermione gasped for air, but suddenly everything became blur. She felt how her wand slipped out of her fingers and how she dropped to her knees, and finally hit the floor.
'I'm wondering, do you love Hermione?' Luna asked straight to the point when they were walking down one of the dark corridors. Ron gulped. 'Why do you ask?' he said, kind of shaking. 'I want to know.' Luna said simply. Ron shrugged. 'I-ah... I mean, Hermione's just a good friend and-ah,.. I know she likes Harry so,...' it sounded more unsecure than he planned it. 'mmm' was all Luna said. She opened a door and they were back in the basement of the Soleil School for Sorcery.
'Now,... Potter,...or should I say... murderer,...' the voice continued after a short laugh 'yes,.. how is it to go through life as KILLER,...'. Harry narrowed his eyes. 'What do you mean!?' he demanded. Again, Voldemort laughed. 'Don't you read the Quibbler, Potter-boy? EVERYONE does,...' Harry felt how his courage sank. It was true. Even though he had been avoiding it, after that issue of the Quibbler, everyone had assumed he was the one who slayed Bellatrix Lestrange,... 'Forgot that issue, didn't you? Painfull, isn't it? Last year, everyone seemed to trust you so well,...maybe everyone will come to their senses,... after,... they've found your body,... or maybe, even better, everybody will assume you RAN when nobody finds your body,... yes,... that sounds interesting,... doesn't it?' the voice laughed hysterically. Harry's mind raced. He had to get out of here,.... his eyes suddenly spotted a small window. it was in a corner, on the same wall as the door, though he hadn't noticed it before. He realised something. Something Hermione had tought him. A spell,... and it might work,..
Hermione's almost lifeless body dropped to the cold floor. The snake slowely made it's way into another room,...
'We should find Harry,.. and Hermione!' Ron reminded Luna. Luna smiled. 'Oh,.. yes,... let's' he followed her back into the torch room. 'But,.. how do we know which way to go?' Ron asked, slightly dissapointed. Luna smiled vaguely. 'I know. I'll just say the password. It will open all doors and lead us to the right room,.. or rooms,...' Ron nodded, but didn't quiete understand. Luna raised her wand 'NAM!'
Harry quickly grabbed his wand, pointing it at the window and shouted 'Exsisto oriondus Lumen!'
'What-?' Harry gasped, while turning around, but the door was gone. 'HERMIONE!!!' he screamed, feeling the wall as if he could step right through it. 'HER-MIO-NEEE!!!' he screamed louder, expected Hermione to answer. But she didn't.
