WOOT!!! Chapter 11 is now officially up! I want to thank you all for being so patient with me. This chapter took a little longer to write. Now on to the reviewers!
Ann: Of course you're my favorite reviewer. Thanks for being supportive.
Soccer-Bitch: I really hope you like this chapter. I'm quite proud of it.
Ginny22: Glad you're enjoying it. Thanks for reviewing.
GemJewel: I suppose you'll have to read to see if they get there in time.
lindsey: I actually picked up WOOT! from my friend Tracey. I was sorry to hear about your best friend. I hope things get better.
Szihuoko: I'm sorry you disliked the story. I don't know who you think you are to criticize so harshly. If you don't fucking like it then don't read it. This has been a hobby of mine for six years. It's for fun. I'm not trying to be a professional writer. I honestly think you take this stuff way to seriously. That's all i have to say about that.
TO ALL: If you have nothing nice to say then don't review it. I mean seriously, constructive criticism is one thing but being just downright fucking mean is another. Get over it.
THANKS IN HUGE PART TO MY BESTEST BEST FRIEND JUBJUB FOR THE HYMN TO AMEN-RA! I LOVEDED YOU!
DISCLAIMER: BLAH BLAH BLAH...USUAL BULLSHIT!
With the Guard and the Weasleys' in tow, Harry set off the next day toward Egypt. His scar prickled painfully as he soared across the night sky. Every thought he has was spinning mercilessly n his head and his heart clenched. The only thing that made him feel any better was knowing that he wasn't alone. When, after hours, they finally touched ground, Harry's legs were stiff and he shivered from the cold. The group stepped up to an ominous square building and the sand blew around their ankles.
Harry's heart thudded. " It's to quite. " he whispered. " Way to quite. "
Hermione stepped up next to him. " Harry, are you sure we're in the right place? "
Her question was immediately answered as a dozen or so cracks echoed through the silent night and the hooded figures of Death Eaters appeared around them. Wands were pointed at their chests and the group closed in tighter to eachother.
" Mr. Potter, we so hoped you'd come. " Lucius Malfoy drawled from behind the mask.
Harry stepped forward. " Where's Madison. "
" Oh she's busy at the moment. The Dark Lord is finding her quite useful. " Lucius sneered. The Death Eaters around him sniggered.
Harry raised his wand. " Let her go, now. " His teeth gritted, he took another step forward.
Lucius laughed. " Oh no, You see this time, Potter, we don't have to hesitate in killing you. "
Green sparks flew from Lucius' wand and Harry dodged it. " STUPEFY" he cried out but missed.
Before he knew it colored sparks were flying in every direction from both groups of people. Harry dodged jets of color as he ran towards the opening of the temple. He had almost made it when somebody slammed into him, knocking him off his feet. He looked to see Ginny in his lap, her eyes rolling to the back of her head before she went limp in his arms.
"MOLLY!" Mr. Weasley cried. " Take Ginny and get her out of here. She's been stunned. "
Mrs. Weasley ran over and scooped her youngest out of Harry's arms. Tears stained her face and she dodged magic to get Ginny to safety.
" Harry go! We'll keep them distracted. " Ron yelled.
Harry scrambled to his feet and was just inside the temple when he felt a white-hot surge of pain in his scar. He dropped to his knees, clutching his head. He had hesitated to long, Malfoy loomed over him.
" You're too brave for your own good, Potter. " he sneered. " You'll never get there in time. The ritual is almost complete. "
Harry took a breath and stood upright, his wan raised. " I don't care about the ritual. I only want Madison out of here, alive. "
" Oh that won't happen either. You see, her parents last request was that she join the dark side. It won't take much to convince her after she learns of your death. " Lucius raised his wand. " AVADA KADAVRA! "
Harry screamed as the curse just barely missed him. Quick as he could, he got to his feet. He couldn't bring himself to use on of the Unforgiveable Curses. He just didn't have enough hate to do it.
" STUPEFY! " he cried out twice, sending two jets of red light that hit Lucious square in the chest. He fell the to floor, a look of utter shock on his face.
Breathing heavily, Harry ran deeper into the temple. He lit the tip of his wand and looked in awe at the heiroglyphs covering the walls from floor to ceiling. He kept himself pressed against the wall and blinked as light suddenly flooded the hallway. Harry peaked into the room from around the corner and gasped. Madison was standing on a dais in front of a large golden statue of Amen-Ra. Between the dais and the statue was a large basin filled with a silvery blue substance. Harry looked around the room seeing non one else but Madison. He crept up to the dais.
" Madison, come down. "
She spun around, her eyes wide with relief and terror. " Harry, you have to leave. Leave before he comes back. "
" No, I can't leave you. " he reached his hand towards her and felt a burning pain against his flesh. Madison was surrounded by a barrier.
" Harry please. " Madison pleaded. " Just leave. You'll be killed. I can't have you die to try and save me. "
Before Harry could respoond, a loud crack echoed through the room and Voldemort's sinister laugh reached his ears.
" I'm so glad you could make it, Potter." he sneered. " It's such a special occasion. The day I truly become immortal. The day I will destroy you and the wizarding world will be mine. "
" Do you really think you'll succeed this time. " Harry snorted.
" I do, dear boy, I do. " he laughed and ran long skeletal fingers over Madison's shoulders. " All due to Madison of course. "
" Don't fucking touch her! " Harry roared, running at the dais. He groaned when the barrier flung him acroos the room and he hit the opposite wall.
" Harry! " Madison cried. She tried to run to his aide but Voldemort's fingers dug into her arm to restrain her, bruising the flesh. " Please don't hurt him. " Tears leaked from her eyes.
" Don't cry girl! There's no time for sympathy. " He spun Madison around the face the basin and forced her to her knees. " Bella, take care of the boy. "
Bellatrix Lestrange emerged from behind the statue, a satisfied grin on her face. " With pleasure, Master. " she said.
" Bella. " Voldemort's voice was threatening. " Remember, you're only to bind him. Leave the fun stuff to me. "
Bella nodded and strutted towards Harry. " You've stepped into it this time, Potter. "
Harry smirked. " And I'll step right out of it. "
Bellatrix pointed her wand. " I only have to keep you distracted, just until the ritual is done, then, it's curtains for you. " She laughed viciously.
Harry smiled, taking that moment and bolted behind the statue of Amen-Ra, his wand clutched in his hand. " Go ahead. Let's see what you're made of. STUPEFY! "
Red light bursted from the tip of his wand, straight at Bellatrix's chest. She stepped aside with ease and the spell hit the wall that was behind her.
" You'll have to do better then that, Potter. "
Harry stepped out from behind the statue. " Oh I will. " He circled the dais where Voldemort and Madison stood. Madison was holding the sapphire that Harry had given to her over the basin while Voldemort spoke raspily some Egyptian hymn.
Time was running out for Harry and he knew it. Quick as he could, he raised his wand. " EXPELLIARMUS" He cried and Bellatrix's wand was thrown from her hand. She let out a cry of frustration and skirted for her wand. Harry again, was to quick for her. " PETRIFICUS TOTALUS. "
Bellatrix's arms and legs snapped together and she fell face first onto the ground. Harry smiled faintly. He had one that battle, but he knew the war was far from over. He turned to the dais just as Voldemort was finishing the hymn.
" '...the gods acclaim thee, O thou art the maker of things which are below and of things which are above...' "
Harry had to act quick, he looked to make sure there were no other Death Eaters and when he saw there were none in sight, ran up the steps to the barrier, praying his magic could penetrate the barrier. Voldemort continued to speak.
"...'Thou illuminest the two lands, and thou sailest over the sky in peace, O king of the south and North, , whose word hath unfailing effect, who art over the two lands, tohu mighty one of two-fold strength, thou lord of terror, thou Being above who makest the earth according to thine own designs, grant us, who are worthy, loyal to the Being, live eternally.' Now, Madison, drop the sapphire into the basin. " He commanded.
" ACCIO SAPPHIRE! " Harry yelled out, just in time. The sapphire stopped in mid air before floating to Harry's hand. He took hold of it, with a cry of triumph.
Voldemort let out a horrible cry of disgust and took his wand out. He pulled Madison to him, keeping the want pointed at her temple. " Give me the sapphire, Potter or I'll kill her. "
" Harry! Don't give it to him. Whatever you do. " Madison screamed, her voice full of panic. " I love you, Harry. I really do. "
Voldemort immediately released Madison as she spoke such emotional words. Her heart seemed to burst with love for Harry and tears slid down her cheeks. Voldemort let out a low hiss and Harry tossed the sapphire into the air.
" FINITO INCANTATO! " the sapphire burst into a million tiny pieces. Voldemort screamed in pain, his direct link to the sapphire causing him to writhe. Harry ran onto the dais and reached to touch Madison, the barrier no longer existed. He pulled the girl into his arms and got her as far away from Voldemort as possible as a blinding light swept through the room, causing them both to shield their eyes. Madison clung to Harry in fear, trembling all over. When their eyes adjusted again, she looked up to him, teary-eyed.
" It's over, " Harry whispered. " It's over. "
" Harry. " She embraced him tightly, burying her head in his shoulder. " I'm sorry. I was weak. I'm so sorry. You shouldn't have come for me. " she cried.
" I had too. I love you. " Harry raised her chin and kissed her lightly.
" I love you too. "
" HARRY! MADISON! " Ron's voice echoed through the hallway of the temple before he appeared in the door, closely followed by Hermione, Fred and George.
" Are you two alright? " Hermione asked, her voice panicky.
" We're fine. " Harry answered, getting to his feet and raising Madison to hers. " Are you guys ok? "
" Fine. Bill and Charlie took Mum and Ginny to St. Mungo's so Ginny can be treated and Dad, Tonks, Lupin and Moody were able to round up the Death Eaters. Fudge and the others Aurors are there now with Dumbledore. " George explained.
Hermione had tears of relief in her eyes and flung her arms around Madison and Harry. " I was so worried. I couldn't be happier that you two are alive. "
Harry pulled Ron into the hug and were joined seconds later by Fred and George.
" Come on, mate." Ron said. " Let's go home. "
A/N: The hymn above is an actual hymn. It's not mine it the Ancient Egyptians.
