Chapter 15: Trained to Be Soulless

Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Dumbledore, Snape, Sirius, and Krum all stood in the Room of Requirements. Seven beds were set up to make a half circle around the room. Then there was a bed in the dead center of the room. This bed held Harry Potter's body. The room had a sleepy feeling to it so the instant you walked in you started to yawn. Dumbledore had set it up that way for the purpose of putting the sleepers into a fast natural sleep. In order for the Rates to work you had to fall asleep naturally. "All right. Now that you all know what you are to do, I suppose you can get into your beds," said Snape. Dumbledore and Sirius had just got done explaining that they were to get Harry to try to weaken the Dinlex so back- up could come in and get him out completely. They would be monitoring Harry's sleep dep, (how deep he is in his sleep) so they would know when they can get in.
All of them moved to get into their beds. "Krum, I will be back soon," said Hermione as she put her legs in the sheets. Krum came to stand next to her. "I knowz honey," said Krum as he kissed her forehead.

"Well Ginny, I guess I will see you on the other side," said Ron as he laid down in the bed next to his sister. Ginny looked at Harry's bed in the middle of the room. "Ron, just promise me no matter what happens; we will bring him back," she said with determination. "We will. Don't worry, we will," Ron closed his eyes. Ginny slid down in her bed and closed her eyes as well. Hermione could hear Krum and the others leave the room as Snape lurked in the darkness waiting to put the Rates in their eyes. Ron's POV Before he falls asleep- We will bring him back. Ginny's POV Before she falls asleep- We better bring him back. Hermione's POV Before she falls asleep- Here we come Harry.

"What's wrong Potter. Surly you didn't think that the Dark Lord wouldn't bring back one of his most valuable servants would you?" asked Draco. Harry's face had gone from white to red. His hands had clinched into a painful fist. "You know Malfoy, the only reason he brought you back was because he though he needed you but now he don't so I'm sure he wouldn't mind if Harry killed you," said Hazel in a dangerous growl. Malfoy threw his hands up in defense. "Easy now pussycat. I've just come to collect Potter, unless you want him to be here when my Lord comes to accompany you to bed." Malfoy had a big smirk on his face. He knew Hazel wouldn't want Harry there but he just loved throwing it up in her face. Hazel just put her head down. "You disgust me!" she said quietly. "Yeah I know. But at least I keep your senesces alive," said Draco as he strolled over to Hazel's cage and kissed the bars. Harry jumped over to put himself in between them but Draco pulled his wand out and yelled a spell. Instantly, Harry was tossed back into his cage and it locked. Hazel looked up but Malfoy was so close that she couldn't keep her eyes forward for long. His closeness still shook her. She could only hope Harry and her got out of there before Voldemort got mad at her or something and gave her to Malfoy for his own pleasure. "Haven't you ever just wished you could go back to that greenhouse? Back to the back room where I made you scream and cry with just a touch. I bet Potter never did that." Malfoy was close to her and he had a low seductive tone to his voice. "Malfoy!! Back away," yelled Harry. Hazel looked up and starred into his eyes. Her big deep brown orbs locked onto his gray coldless eyes. "You have no soul do you?" she asked him with a heavy voice. "I'm a Malfoy. I was born to become soulless." Malfoy turned around and lifted Harry's cage off the ground and walked out. Harry looked back at Hazel whose eyes were bearing no strong emotion. She just looked on numbly as Harry was hosted out of the room as she was left behind.
