Harry Potter and the Death Arch
Chapter Seven
"Using the Death Arch"
Arrived in the Headmaster's office, they sat down, and Dumbledore said: "Another time here, Harry?" then added "What's happening now?"
"Headmaster, we had." Draco started, but Harry stopped him, then he started:
"Professor, Ron Weasley is a Death Eater.he admitted having the Mark, but his recruiter said him that he is, how do you say, as in a stage.he said that he accepted because Voldemort promised him that he would had Hermione for him, but if he had refused, Hermione would be killed.however he swore that he didn't help Krum, but he said that he couldn't come with us because if he does it, Voldemort will kill her, him and his family."
"Oh, yes.the Dark Lord is terrible, Harry.but go on."
"Then I asked him if he would kill me if Voldemort would ask it to him, and he said yes.so I stunned him.now he is in the Transfiguration class.I think we cannot trust him for the moment, and I suggest to keep him in a cell in the dungeons"
"Yes, Harry, it is right" Dumbledore agreed, then added "and now, go!! That poor girl had waited even too much!!"
They ran out the room, then went in the kitchen asking Dobby for some Gillyweed, but he hadn't any more."Snape" Harry exclaimed, so they went in his office in the dungeons; they explained the situation, then the Professor gave it to them, and both of them ran to the lake.
There they chewed the Gillyweed and dived in the lake in the direction where Harry saw the arch the other time.also this time they met many mermaids but they avoided them to save time and finally, there it was.
The "Death Arch". An enormous Gothic arch, in black stone, with some words engraved on it: "Voldemort is with you"; then, going nearer, they saw:
"Whoever passes this threshold, will be taken to the presence of the Dark Lord; he will respond to him for his actions"
Harry and Draco looked each other, then they moved firmly to the arch.they were very close to it when Draco signalled to Harry another writing, very little:
"The Dark Lord enemies will pay with the death using this arch; don't pass it if you don't want to suffer his anger!!"
Harry, heedless of it, went always closer, and Draco with him.they were at only one meter from the threshold, and looked each other; then they passed it.
They felt themselves rotating very quickly, then after some seconds, they landed on earth, in the external courtyard of a building on a cliff; they stood up and looked around, finding a corridor; they covered it and found a locked door."Alohomora" Draco whispered and the door opened.
They noticed that all the walls were black, and very often on them the Dark Mark was shining, as it was burning.they were in Voldemort's Headquarter. They started moving very suspiciously.staying very attentive; even if the Death Eaters were few, they however were very dangerous. Being very attentive, they progressed a lot in the building, when suddenly Harry's scar was hurting very much and he saw the Dark Lord speaking to Hermione:
"I feel that Potter is very close.Well, in a little time the final battle will start.then he laughed loud; but it was in his mind, so they still had to find him.suddenly, they heard a voice behind them: "Who is there?"; they started running, then Harry heard "Locomotor Mortis"; he turned and saw Malfoy petrified, so he cried: "Stupefy" and the Death Eater fell down, stunned; he ran away.he didn't want to lose time in that moment.he had to save Hermione, then he would think about Malfoy.
He found a staircase, he climbed it quickly, then he opened a door.there was a passage with other ten doors."This place is a real labyrinth" he thought . He tried opening one, then another, then all of them.nothing!!! Only empty rooms.
He returned downstairs, entered another corridor, and found other doors.if only he could have the Moody's magic eye.he wouldn't lose time opening all of them.however, he had to do this; he explored one, two, three.
Only one remained.he opened it and found another passage, this time with more burning Dark Marks.here the doors were still very much, but he found the courage of opening them, because he wanted to save her, so he suddenly felt a strong cold in his soul and saw a dementor.he had to react.the dementor was going toward him.he thought the happiest thing he could.he and Hermione, hugged, on the Hogwarts grass; she was very close to him, and moved closer; then she kissed him.that was the right moment!! "Expecto Patronus" he cried and a wonderful silver stag attacked the dementor, putting it K.O. then it disappeared.Harry thought about his father, who was an illegal Animagus who transformed in a stag.he had to go on also for him.he would have done the same thing for his mother.he opened other doors, until he found the right one: he entered a dark room, saw Hermione and Draco tied, then he heard the Voldemort's voice.
