Chapter 6:

Chandra, Voldemort and Lies

I woke up again. This time in a different room. I was on a large cushioned chair in front of a blazing fire that brought me no warmth. My hand were bound my magic and my feet stuck to the ground. I shivered as a chill ran down my spin. Someone had changed me from my school robes. Now clothed in a satin skirt with slits on both sides that exposed my legs, and a sheer, long sleeved shirt with a satin piece covering just above my stomach to just barley covering my breasts.

I felt my face warm, I had never warn anything so reveling.

A deep chuckle sounded before me and black robes came into my down cast view. I quickly looked up and felt fear grip my heart as I met the blazing eyes of Voldemort.

"Not yet my lovely pet." He said with a smile that sent another chill down my spin.

I felt the cold tip of his wand on my temple then everything went black.

Harry and Hermione trailed behind me. For once, I led the adventure. Our footsteps echoed eerily through the halls. The torches on the wall cast weird shadows that kept us alert. The halls seemed to continue forever, never ending and ever turning.

Not for the first time I had wished I had thought before charging after Chandra and told someone. How long had it been since we had left the platform? I couldn't remember. Harry's watched had stopped when he had entered the castle. We hadn't felt hungry or tiered since coming here either. .

As we turned down another hall silence seemed to cover us like a blanket. We looked at each other uneasily and gripped our wands tighter

"Wands ready?" I asked, my voice seemed strained.

My friends made sound of confirmation and we continued on. This hall ended in a door decorated with serpents. Glancing back at my friends they nodded encouragement.

Clutching my wand tightly with one hand I opened the door. What I was expecting was another monster, some other obstacle placed in our way. Instead there was a chair placed in the middle of the room. A small thing body sat slumped over. A curtain of ebony black hair mixed with ribbons from a silver headdress hid the face from view.

"Chandra!" I cried and took two steps towards her before Harry's hand latched onto my shoulder and stopped me.

"Ron! Look."

Taking another glace I saw a sphere surrounded her, but not only that but a large snake that curled lazily around her and watched us intently.

Wind suddenly filled the room slamming the door closed. I whirled around and looked that door in surprise. It was gone!

"RON!!"

Chandra's voice caused me to turn around again. I jumped to the side with a cry of surprise.

The sharp fangs of the snake sailed past me. It landed with a thump then whirled and came at me again. I backed away, throwing as many spells as I could thing of at it. It dodged with an unnatural ease. Then back as far as I could I watched helplessly as teh spells missed and the snake got increasingly closer.

Finally it reared back again then shot forward with lightening speed. I jumped to the side just as quickly. The shriek it made as it landed in the fire sent a shiver down my spin and the smell of burning flesh made my stomach turn.

"Tsk tsk Weasly," a familiar voice chided," She was one of my favorite pets."

I looked up to see Voldemort sanding behind Chandra's chair.

Chandra's form was still slumped over. Hadn't she called my name? I wondered briefly.

"Of course," Voldemort continued stepping around the chair, "She is my favorite." He said as he lifted her face by her chin. Her eyes remained closed and her fave relaxed. The look of affection on Voldemort's face turned my stomach with revulsion and brought a sense of fear into my heart.

Leaning closer Voldemort whispered loud enough for us all the hear, "Wake up my pet, we have guests."

Chandra's eyes flickered open. They widened in horror as the fell upon us. Her lips moved soundlessly. This seemed to please Voldemort for his face broke into a chilling smile. He kissed her beside her ear. Anger boiled up in me, but I was pleased to see her shudder.

Voldemort smirked and stood up thrusting her face away.

"That's some way to treat your pets." Hermione said in disgust.

I looked over at them. Harry's eyes weren't on Voldemort though. He was staring at Chandra, she was watching him as well, almost searchingly. Relief passed over her face and I looked wordlessly back at Harry. He's eyes had hardened with disgust.

"This was all set-up wasn't it?" He demanded.

What? I wanted to ask, my voice seemed stuck in my throat.

Voldemort laughed with maniacal (a/n: is that even a word?)glee.

Harry stilled looked accusingly at Chandra, "The whole scene at teh station was a set up, you knew we'd come after you!" Anger shook Harry's whole body.

No! I wanted to cry, I wanted to strangle Harry for his accusations. Chandra was good, she was a victim, but even as I watched the expressions on Chandra's face I knew he was telling the truth.

" I must admit," Voldemort said with a smug pride, " things turned out exactly as I wanted them too."

"Y-you were working for him?!" I cried.

She gave me a look of defeat and regret.

"Yes! Very good Weasly!" Voldemort said, "My little puppet!" He pulled out a small glowing ball.

Chandra's eyes widened, then closed, her shoulders sagged and I felt the wave of defeat that washed over her.

"Now my pet, " he said, "Kill him, and it's yours."

Chandra stood her bangs shadowed her eyes giving them a cold, evil look. Her dress accented all her curves and I was shocked to see her in them. I felt my heart crumbled as I realized she really had been working for Voldemort, and she had been playing my heart. A dagger glinted in her hand as she moved closer. I heard a door open somewhere and Hermione scream. Out of the corner of my eye I saw spells begin to fly, but Chandra held my focus.

"You lied to me." I accused her, my voice cracking despite my efforts," All those words, they really were lies. You really were acting, pretending to be madly in love with me." I spat out with as much venom as I could muster."

Her eyes held mine, and very quietly she spoke, "Yes."

"There was never a curse was there?"

With a smirk that chilled my heart she laughed, "Pathetic how easily you fell for it."

"Then kill me, "I let my wand drop to my side, "You've left nothing left for me. You've already killed the only girl I could ever love." I glared at her, hoping that somehow she'd feel all the pain she caused me.

The dagger raised as she moved closer and my gaze never left hers. Then only a few feet away from me, she whirled around and threw the dagger at Voldemort. Voldemort's surprise only lasted long enough for the dagger to slash into his arm as he moved out of the way. The ball dropped from his fingers and even before it had dropped to the ground Chandra had fallen to the floor. The ball shattered and Voldemort laughed.

He turned to Harry just as Death Eaters began appearing in the room, "And now my dear boy, you and your pathetic friends will die."

A/N: Alright everyone, there you have it. How'd you like it? Story's almost done. Next up is the last one. So..please review? *puppy dog eyes* I really like reviews. Well have a good day/night, year, whatever makes you feel special.
