Alive; Chapter 3: You Can't Take Me
(Song borrowed from Bryan Adams)
Harry stared intently at Lucius. Harry, extremely slowly, moved his hand towards his wand, and Lucius caught sight of it. "Don't do anything you'll regret later," he said in a sickeningly soft voice. But when Harry felt around in his pocket, he realized that there wasn't a wand in there. He looked back. Had he perhaps dropped it by the lake? All Harry knew was that there wasn't any way he was going to be able to get out of this. "No wand, eh, Potter? Well, it's no fair if I use one. Besides, it's a lot more fun if I take you kicking and screaming, isn't it?" Harry didn't respond.
Harry was too busy staring at Lucius' face that he didn't notice the footsteps of another Death Eater approaching him from behind. He let out a short gasp as a rope tightened around his throat. The strength of Bellatrix Lestrange pulled him to the ground as he gagged. He breathed heavily for air, but couldn't seem to get any. "Now, Bella, don't kill him. The Dark Lord wants us to bring it back in one piece," Lucius said. Harry glared at him; he couldn't stand being called an 'it'.
Bellatrix began to drag him forward, but Harry pulled against her. "Come on, Potter, I need to get you to Him," Bellatrix said in an annoyed tone. Harry continued to pull.
Gotta fight another fight Gotta run another night Get it out, check it out I'm on my way, and I don't feel right
Harry let out a sick choking sound, and watched the quiet area around him. Hermione, Ron, and Ginny had been stunned and taken away by other Death Eaters. Harry hoped they wouldn't get tortured, and he hoped that he was the only one out of the four that would get such punishment. Finally, Harry dropped to the ground, and pulled Lestrange down with him. He kicked her in the back of the head, and she yelled out in pain. Harry continued trying to pull away.
He stood up, and got pushed back into the dirt by Lestrange, who had also stood up, was now pulling at the rope even harder. Most of the time Harry was pulling away, he kept thinking, 'Not going to die here', and thought that the entire way.
I gotta get me back - I can't be beat and that's a fact
It's OK - I'll find a way
You ain't gonna take me down no way
When they had near reached the end of the Hogwarts property, Harry pulled even harder, even though the rope had been cutting away the flesh on his neck, he kept pulling. He found a tree root, and grabbed onto it. He held onto it with all of his strength. His stamina was low because he hadn't been playing Quidditch for a year, now and therefore he couldn't hold on that tight. His hands were suddenly cut on something on the root.
Don't judge a thing until you know what's inside it
don't' push me - I'll fight it
Never gonna give in - never gonna give it up no
If you can't catch a wave then you're never gonna ride
you can't come uninvited
Never gonna give in - never gonna give up no
you can't take me I'm free
He let go immediately, and was dragged off of the property of Hogwarts. Before they could Apparate, Harry held his breath, and sank his teeth into Lestrange's arm, and she screamed in pain and surprise. The wound started bleeding. Harry smirked in satisfaction. He ran back onto the property.
Why did it all go wrong? - I wanna know what's going on
and what's this holding me?
I'm not where I supposed to be
I gotta fight another fight
I gotta fight will all my might
I'm getting out , so check it out
Yeah, you're in my way, and you better watch out...yeah.
Unfortunately, Lucius grabbed Harry's arm, and tore him outside of the property. With a snap, they apparated. And Harry knew he was never going to see the school again.
