Darkness
Remus' POV
Remus dashed down the long dark stone corridor, not having a clue where he was going, but trusting his instincts. His hearing, already sharp from his near franticness, caught the sound of approaching footsteps and he sped up.
He ran into a circular room and quickly glanced around for any sign of danger. The chamber had many entrances around the room; all darkened so even Remus' werewolf eyes could not make out more than a few feet into each corridor. The roof of the room was open to the night sky, but the rolling thunderheads did not keep Remus' attention for long as a new figure entered the room.
It was Ashon and in his hands, the limp, bloody form of Harry.
Remus' heart stopped as he recognized the figure in Ashon's arms.
"Harry!" He rushed forward and took him gingerly from Ashon's hold.
Harry's face was pale, his eyes were half closed and blood was gathering on both sleeves of his robes, as he lay limp in Remus' arms.
Ashon looked over his shoulder but spoke to Remus, "He's lost a lot of blood. Get him out of here, Remus; he won't last long in that condition. Get your precious pup out of here before that overgrown snake finds out he's gone." He glanced back at Remus, "You of all people know of how the dark lord hates to have his plans destroyed by him." He smirked, "Be a little grateful for this gift."
"Ashon............ where is the shard?"
Ashon's smirk faded into a disgusted sneer, "That snake took it and is destroying Slytherin's spirit using its power. Why?"
'Why would he destroy the spirit?' Remus wondered vaguely before pulling himself out of his reverie but a new sound.
"Harry is the guardian of the shard. If Voldemort takes it, Harry will die." He looked despairingly are Harry's form, still straining to hear this new sound.
Ashon swore under his breath, "Then you'd better hurry Remus." His amber eyes once again glanced over his shoulder and he swore again, "Nuncamys." He glared at Remus, "Move!"
Without looking back Remus tore into the room Ashon had just left. Behind him, Ashon pulled out a long black wand with one hand and a long golden saber with the other as he waited for the nuncamys.
"Don't you dare die on me Harry" Remus whispered, "Hold on."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ron's POV
Hermione and Ron wandered aimlessly threw the stone corridors. It was all Ron could do to hold himself from running, yelling, anything to get the growing worry in his stomach that something bad was happening to Harry.
He glanced over at Hermione, who still had not said a word, but he finally noticed her hands clenched tightly and shaking.
Trying to think of something to say to her, Ron opened his mouth.
"Oh, hello Ron, Hermione, you're here for the rest of holidays?" Neville called to them.
They both jumped, noticing for the first time that Neville and Luna were standing in front of them.
Luna's large silver eyes looked them over before she said, "Where's Harry?"
Ron glanced at Hermione before saying, "We don't know." He quickly summarized what had happened and both of their faces had a look of worry on them as he finished.
Then Luna said quiet suddenly, "Why don't we ride those big winged horses like last time. Horklumps would be faster, of course, but I don't think there are any around."
Hermione raised her eyes from the floor a small smile on her face and spoke for the first time in hours, "You're brilliant Luna."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Harry's POV
His arms felt like they were on fire and his head pounded as Harry slowly opened his eyes. Looking up he saw Remus was carrying him as he hurried down some corridor and said hoarsely and softly, "M-moony?"
Remus jumped slightly and stopped running to look down at him, a strange mixture of relief and worry on his face.
Remus gently brushed Harry's hair away from his face and said softly, "It's going to be alright Harry, just hold on."
Neither of them saw the bright red light before it was too late. The spell hit them hard and sent them flying into the stone wall before crumbling in a heap at the bottom of it.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Remus' POV
Remus pushed himself up wincing in pain and wiped blood from his mouth where he had bitten his tongue. He gently grabbed Harry's shoulder and shook him slightly, "Harry, wake up."
He was answered with a groan and Harry shifted slightly, but it was enough for Remus to feel an immense wave of relief wash over him, before he heard the high pitched laugh of the dark lord Voldemort.
Remus got to his knees, wincing with the pain, and pulled Harry up so that he was leaning against him. Remus had taken the full force of the blow, while Harry had only received a fraction of it. But with Harry's wounds it was more than enough to bear.
Remus' amber eyes glared into Voldemort's blood red ones, "You find this funny?" He snapped.
Voldemort sneered, "Ironic. The one who stole me of my powers is the one giving power the gods themselves feared," His thin lips formed into a smirk, "And at the cost of his own life too........"
Harry stirred in Remus' arms and opened his eyes. He stared up at the wall they had crashed into seconds before and looked into the face of a god with a crane head painted on the wall, before a jolt passed through him and the last coherent thought that passed through his mind was a pair of emerald green eyes that mirrored his own.
Remus felt Harry stiffen and gasped as his green eyes glowed before becoming blank and emotionless. "Harry?..........."
Harry closed his eyes and when they reopened they were like chips of emerald ice burning furiously.
~Meanwhile~
Four winged horse-like creatures flew over crashing waves of an ocean.
A werewolf with steely gray hair and amber eyes glanced around over the dead bodies of nuncamys before apperateing away.
And Voldemort's full army attacked Tiernan's castle.
It's always darkest before the dawn.
