"My lady," Wormtail called before opening the door. Ruby turned and found him and a group of deatheaters in tow. "It is time. You must come with us now." Two of the masked men came on either side of Ruby and took her arms.
"Excuse me, " she exclaimed.
"It's to make sure you arrive, m'lady."
"Where are we going?"
"The great Lord Voldemort is ready to reveal himself," stated Wormtail. He turned, and they started walking. They walked outside of where Ruby had been staying and were instantly transferred into an eerie grave yard. Many other Deatheaters had already gathered. Some sneered at Ruby, others just ignored her. The two the held to her did not loosen there grip. What happened next Ruby could not believe.
"Harry," she whispered.

"Professor Dumbledore, Don't send them away yet," Harry said before Sirius Black and Snape left. Everyone was in the infirmary and looked at Harry strangely.
"What's going on, Harry," asked Dumbledore.
"I know you said not to, but, someone else was there."
"What do you mean," asked McGonigal.
"I can't be sure, but if I use the pensive, we could find out, right?" Dumbledore looked intently at Harry. "I think, I mean, it heard her yell something. It sounded like Ruby."
A stunned silence followed. Dumbledore had Doby retrieve his pensive for Harry to use and helped him pull out the thoughts of what had just happened. As it swirled in the basin, all in the room scooted in to catch a glimpse and were sucked into the memory.
All were standing in the cemetery where they saw Harry and Voldemort fighting. They saw the wispy figures come out of Voldemort's wand, especially Harry's mom who whispered to him. They all quickly turned when they heard a familiar voice.
"LET GO OF ME! HARRY!"
They saw Ruby, in a now dirty white dress from struggling in the dirt against the deatheaters who held her tight.
"LET ME GO!" With a quick twist of her wrist, she was out of there grasp and ran over to a wounded Harry, helping him back to the port key. "Go, Harry. Tell everyone. I will be fine. Go back to Hogwarts." And with that Harry and Cedric were gone.
But the memory continued. They all looked on as the deatheaters put Ruby under a Crutius curse, until Voldemort stopped them. Ruby didn't scream, but laid in a crumpled heap on the floor. The dark Lord knelt down to her and lifted her up in his arms, whispered something that took away the pain of the curse, and set her back on the ground.
"Followers of the Dark Lord," he yelled, "I present to you, our link who will make us unstoppable! I present to you the empress of the dark, Ruby Kennedy." As she was marked with the dark mark on her back, they were taken out of the memory and back into the room.
There was an aw in the room. Some cried others pounded there fists.
"Dumbledore, what will we do," asked Harry.
"That is not for you to worry about, Harry. Everyone, the plan is the same. Go now, we will finish this school year as we always do." With that Dumbledore left. Slowly everyone else did.
Snape had an aching feeling.
"Severus," Dumbledore said one day before the end of term, "it is not your fault."
Not surprised that Albus could read his thoughts he answered, "But she came to me and I just threw her out."
"Severus, you have a job to do now. And saving her from whatever fate awaits her is apart of that. We must not think the worst. She has made it through a lot of trials. Let's not lose hope in her now."
* * *
She looked in the mirror at the mark on her back, still burning bright red.
I am the empress of the darkness, and I will be it's down fall.
* I finally finished part three! *dances around* sorry it took so long. Will try to get started on part four soon. Thanks for all those who are reading! I love you all!
