Chapter 6

Stars are like coins dropped into the night- their light buys a safe passage

A day before the beginning of the Christmas holidays

Harry, Ron and Hermione were sitting in the Gryffindor common room. Elizabeth had never come back. Teachers and Lupin and Sirius had tried to find her, but when they found out were she was, they knew they could not do anything." I wonder when Elizabeth will return," Ron said. " I don't think she will return" Hermione answered. " Maybe we will see her at the party" Ron said. " If Lucius Malfoy is there, there is a large chance that she will be there as well. And do you know what I have heard? Snape will be at the party as well" " I am really happy that your dad invited us" Hermione said. They continued talking, not knowing that there was a lonely, heart broken girl miles away from them

Voldemort's castle

Elizabeth walked through the corridors towards the great hall. Her uncle wanted to speak to her. " Probably about Tom" Elizabeth thought. She entered the great hall. Her uncle was sitting on some kind of a throne. A throne of bone. Not normal bones, but the bones of wizards that he had killed. " What do you want to talk about?" Elizabeth asked. "About you" Voldemort answered. " About me?" Elizabeth asked. "Or about Tom?" With a loud bang the door flew open. It was Lucius Malfoy. He quickly walked up to Elizabeth and whispered something in her ear. She nodded. "You'll have to excuse me, my dear uncle," she said. " I have some 'business' to attend." Voldemort nodded. "As you wish, my dear princess" he said with a dangerously icy voice.

Elizabeth hurried to the door of the castle. Someone was waiting for her there. It was a black dog, with a letter in its mouth. On the letter the name "Elizabeth Maeve Riddle" was written. " Thank you Sirius" Elizabeth said, taking the letter from the black dog. She quickly read it. She summoned a pen and paper and wrote a reply on the paper. She gave it to the black dog and the dog ran into the shadows of the night. Elizabeth turned around. "Let's go inside. Lucius. It's cold here outside." She said, with tears in her eyes.
A/N Please R/R I really hope to get some reviews. The story isn't that bad, is it?
