'They are in a place near where both land and water creatures roam. Near where light disappears and a giant calls home. You see it by day and even at night. It's not below sea level nor as high as sky's height. When you're there you see a place, not far from here. Better hurry now or you'll lose someone dear.' Harry repeated as he went out of the dark forest. 'What could they mean?'
He decided to keep calm and ponder the riddle, one by one.
Due to knowing Hermione or any of his loved ones could die, he couldn't calm down.
'How the heck am I supposed to know where they are?' he shouted to no one.
He had to stop worrying and think.
Dumbledore bravely took out his wand. It was his very first wand but it would still handle very well and still looked brand new. He was prepared for the worst, even though he didn't let that pass by Voldemort.
As Voldemort made his conceited views, Hermione noticed Anthony wasn't there. She looked for him.
And saw his pretty-boy smile under a Deatheater hood!
'Anthony?' she managed to blurt out.
The person under the hood heard this and smiled. He approached her.
'I like the name Anthony but I prefer my real name.' he said, pulling down his hood. 'You can call me Chris again.' he said, grinning evilly.
It really was Chris. Hermione got mad at herself for not recognizing the same smile.
She was about to try and give him a piece of her mind when she, along with the others, heard Voldemort hiss a spell.
Dumbledore and he had finished bowing.
'Crucio!'
Dumbledore apparated with ease. But was nearly met by venom that only needed to touch skin before it melted it as Voldemort followed his spell with 'Venomous Dembende!'
'Venomous Impende!' was the counter-curse which Dumbledore knew.
The two stopped. This was a tense moment. Two great wizards, one evil but great, were dueling.
'I know this isn't the time but I'm rooting for Dumbledore.' said Ron.
'They are in a place near where both land and water creatures roam.It must be near both land and water.' he said to himself as he put every sentence together. 'Near where light disappears and a giant calls home.it must be near a horizon or at least where the sun sets.and the giant.a whale?'
It didn't make sense so he proceeded to the next one.
'You see it by day and even at night.meaning you can always see it.it's somewhere where darkness doesn't effect.'
He thought of the next riddle. It took awhile before he remembered, 'It's not below sea level nor as high as sky's height.so it's not underwater, nor is it in the sky.'he said to himself. He was getting the clues quite quickly as he concentrated. 'When you're there you see a place, not far from here. Better hurry now or you'll lose someone dear.Hogsmead? No. too many people. The Ministry will be there in no time and it'll be chaos everywhere.I was in the dark forest at that time.the only thing close there is Hogwarts.'
Then, as if it was right there in front of him, he pieced together the sentences!
'It's near water, it's visible from Hogwarts.it's on land.and you can see the whole day.'
'The only thing you can see from Hogwarts both day and night is the lake and its surroundings.' Harry thought. 'A giant calls home.the giant squid!' he exclaimed. He knew he was right so far. He could feel it.
'Now.where in the lake? It's not under it.nor in the sky.it's got to be the land that surrounds the lake!' he said. He wished more than anything that Hermione was here. They would've figured it in half time.
'Near where light disappears.the light is possibly the sun and where it disappears could possibly mean west.it's obvious the sun sets in the west!' he wondered what Hermione would do.
She would look for another meaning for the obvious clues. He thought to himself. 'West... west... could it possibly be the direction from Hogwarts?' he asked aloud. 'It's worth a try.'
'Akamenous!' was a limb-tearing spell that Voldemort screamed.
'Geronmia!' yelled Dumbledore .This was the counter-curse.
They have been at it for nearly half an hour. Not one was getting tired. Dumbledore in fact, was looking remarkably steady. At some point, Gabrielle took notice of Voldemort's breathing for it was going heavily.
'Tired yet, old man?' he asked insultingly.
Dumbledore merely gave a meaningful grin at him and gave it to Hermione. She didn't know what it meant but it looked like a signal or some sort.maybe even a fast spell.
She looked suddenly at Clay who had just stopped torturing Leonhart to watch. Of course, Leonhart was too weak now to even get up.
Voldemort suddenly stopped casting spells. He looked at Dumbledore loathingly. Then, switched his stare to Gabrielle.
'Crucio!' he bellowed.
For a moment Gabrielle wondered why Voldemort looked at her but the moment she felt the pure torment of the spell, she knew why.
It was like pain as she had never experienced. She screamed in agony, a scream so loud, it made Lupin's call for his daughter seem like a mere whisper.
'Gabrielle!!!' he half called and half growled.
'Stop that at once!' yelled Dumbledore.
Voldemort gave a very cold and cruel laugh. He was having fun seeing so many people suffer.
'You always did care for these incompetent half and half. I myself couldn't care for any of my Deatheaters yet they still follow me. Why? Fear, Dumbledore. Fear makes them bow down to me. Now, you bow down to me and declare me stronger or this animal shall perish!'
Dumbledore seemed powerless. The wand that was making Gabrielle twitch was still facing her. However, Dumbledore remained calm and spoke.
'Fear, Voldemort, is nothing more but a word. There is nothing to fear but fear itself. However, faith lives in the heart and hope makes us strong.'
'Your wise words can never do you good, Headmaster! You refused to bow down to save this foolish one's life! You show more weakness!' he yelled, making the pain increase. He laughed.
'Accio Rock!' yelled someone who was now free, able to get his wand.
Ron quickly got hold of the summoned rock and threw it straight to Voldemort which he easily ducked.
'Stupid boy! You think it not futile to throw a petty rock at me?' he hissed angrily aloud.
Ron smiled. 'T'wasn't the purpose.' he said casually, holding Gabrielle.
Everybody saw the reddening of Voldemort's eyes in anger.
Before Voldemort could cast out the killing spell 'Avada Kedavra' to either Ron or Gabrielle, mostly Ron, someone moved in the back ground, trying to untie people, however failing.
'Stupefy!' yelled Voldemort in the direction the person was last heard. It was quite dark; the trees were covering some of the people who were actually tied and the person trying to help them.
He laughed the cruelest laugh. He knew who it was, as did everybody, he said another spell.
'Limos solemn!'
There, next to a shocked Lavender, was Hermione Granger.
(Note from Dani: When Dumbledore gave her the look, it untied the rope that held her. Her trusted her from all the rest, because. well, that's a secret right now. Hermione was untying Lavender at the end.
