Chapter 19

Sorry its taken me so long to update but this should be over soon!

Harry, Ron and Hermione kept walking into what seemed like no where. They ran into dead ends and broken off walkways. Finally they walked into what seemed like a stage. They walked in what seemed like beams of light appeared. They saw what seemed like the beginning of all the water in the place. Water was falling down from slits in the walls into what seemed like a river, it made mist appear all over.

"Where are we?" Hermione said looking around

"I have no idea, but I don't have a good feeling about this," Harry replied. Just then Harry fell to the ground in pain, "my scar!!!!" he screamed.

Hermione ran over to him, "Oh my God! Ron where are you? Come here QUICK!" Hermione pulled Harry's hands off his throbbing head to find the inside of his scar turning a dark red" Harry pointed behind her and screamed, making her turn around.

Ron was tied up to the slits in the wall. He had a cut in his head and the water falling from the slits made red pour into the river. Hermione screamed as she got up. Just then something forced her to slam into the wall behind her. She squealed trying to get free as ice cold water trickled down her back.

Harry lying where he was felt as hot ropes dragged him and tied him to the wall as well, only he was brought into the middle of what looked like the stage. Just then two red eyes appeared behind him. Ron and Hermione screamed in horror.

"So Harry what have u been up to?" a dry raspy voice said.

"What do you want from me!!!!" Harry screamed not knowing what was behind him.

Hermione and Ron stopped screaming in awe of what happened next. The red eyes got bigger as the thing approached Harry. At first it wasn't bad but as it walked out into the light, there was nothing more horrifying then its appearance. It was a gold-green slimy four legged creature, with beady red eyes. It had some resemblance to the well missed grim that Sirius took the shape of. It walked with a gimp and as it approached Harry, he could smell it. It had a smell of vomit and it left a trail of green slimy stuff.

"I think you know what I want, I think you've known all along," it said in its voice again.

"NO! I don't know!" Harry said more loudly.

"Well then that's too bad. Isn't it?" It said as it rubbed against Harry leaving his shirt slime covered, "I not only want it, I need it. For no one wants to help me anymore. No one that was once loyal to me helped me! They left me, and my only choice was this, but you see I do have enough power for just one night, or even one hour. But that's all I will need to get what I need and leave nothing but your body!"

Hermione whimpered in the corner, "Shut up! Or I'll leave your body here also!"

I don't know what you're talking about," Harry said once more, "I never have,"

"But Shiann does!" Hermione screamed.

IT turned around and limped towards her, "She's such a funny character that… what was it …. Shiann Wilston. She always seemed so suspicious, so conniving, but it's funny how no one trusts any one any more. See what you see as a loss, I see as one less of you I have to worry about!"

Hermione looked at the beast puzzled. It turned around.

"Now back to what I was saying, I have enough power to restore myself, to bring me back to life, and I shall do so now."

He walked on all fours to the place he emerged from. You could hear him as he slurped up something. It seemed he was back there for what seemed like five minutes before walking out as what he used to be: Voldemort. He walked wearing a dark red robe, and twirling his wand in his hands, "So you say you don't know what I'm talking about Harry?"

Harry nodded his head.

He turned to Ron, "you might have an idea about what I'm talking about, I believe you were right all along."

Ron sat there shaking not knowing what to do or say. He watched as Harry sat in pain, his scar beat red, and he watched Hermione tears streaming down her face in the corner.

"What's wrong cat got your tongue?" Voldemort said laughing.

Ron looked down; he couldn't look at his face.

Voldemort pointed his wand at Harry, "Somehow I don't believe you Harry…. give it to me now or you'll be sorry!"

Just then a bolt of green shot down from up above, it his Voldemort knocking him down hitting the ground with his head.

He got up instantly and looked around. Just then Shiann jumped down from up above.

"I thought the mud blood got rid of you!" he said staring at her.

"Oh come on, you know me… I don't go down without a fight,"

Voldemort glared at her right before he casta spell on her creating a sliver spark to fly across the room, but before ti reached her Shiann had already put a shield spell off and ir reversed back toward Voldemort who dodged it.

"I don't need anything from you!" Voldemort screamed, "I never understood your reasoning for going to Hogwarts!"

Shiann looked at him, "You had the wrong person this whole time. My sister never knew what you wanted; she just had the wrong thing at the wrong time!"

"Do not lie! I know she had it, I don't know what happened or what went wrong when I killed her but the stone should have been mine right there that night!"

"Julia had no clue what you were talking about!" Shiann screamed at him tears streaming down her face. With that Harry, Hermione, and Ron looked at each other…. Julia Burnes, her sister, what was going on?

Voldemort turned around to look at Harry, "Well I do believe this all has something to do with this young man,"

"I had the stone!! I didn't know at the time but I had it!" Shiann screamed now crying badly.

Voldemort turned around quickly, "What do you mean you had the stone? I knew it was in Julia's hands. She had to have known what it was,"

"NO!" Shiann screamed, "I was put to work on what happened at the ministry when Sirius died, they wanted me to go to Hogwarts as someone else to keep a watch on Harry, they thought I was perfect for the job, after all I was the most talented and I was the same age. The stone came to me to give me power, I didn't know. I thought it was just another piece of jewelry or just something I had had forever. Julia saw it and took it one day, so when you were looking for it she had it," Shiann raised her wand, "You took her instead of me!!!!!! You should have killed ME that night!"

Voldemort raised his wand, "That's impossible!"

"No it's not, I was sent because I knew what to watch for, I could help look after harry more then any one. When the ministry started writing all thesse stories about me Dumbledore thought it would be best if I left,"

Hermione, Ron, and Harry sat in awe as they listened to this. Now it all came together. Now they knew why she was here.

"So," Voldemort said walking behind Harry, "Where is it Olivia? Where's the stone?"

"It's gone!" Shiann yelled walking forward.

"Tell me now or everyone's dead!!!"

"It's gone! There's nothing left of it,"

Just then Voldemort screamed in what seemed like agony. His face started to melt along with his hands. His wand was slipping out of his reach and before anyone could help he did it.

"AVADA KEDAVRA!" the bolt came down right above Harry. Shiann shot the most powerful spell, which she knew wasn't strong enough to block the spell but it would slow it down. She jumped into the air as her wand let out an orange flame like spell that did slow down the spell. Voldemort started melting more quickly and everyone watched, for it was a race against time. Then it all happened: it hit with a burst of silver as Shiann jumped in front of Harry. She lay motionless on the floor. Voldemort returned back to his original state as a slimy green dog-like creature, but before anything could happen he looked up as if startled and ran away.

"This isn't the end Harry," he said as he left in a cold raspy voice.

Harry sat there looking at Shiann who laid there a foot in front of him. He sat thinking about how she just saved his life for his. He thought about all she's been through: her sister dying and then knowing it was her fault, being sent to Hogwarts to look after him, to have Hermione and him thinking she was bad and that she was helping Voldemort but to only find out she was helping him all along.

Ron and Hermione sat there, Hermione was unable to move, and sat there whimpering.

"It's alright Hermione," Harry said comforting.

"Is she…… is she?" Hermione stuttered.

"I dunno Hermione," Harry replied knowing what she wanted to say. They both looked at Ron who sat there looking up letting water pour onto his face. HE hadn't moved or said anything. He stayed that way even when Dumbledore, Snape, and almost all of the ministry came to help them after about a minute or so. Harry was asked to explain what had happened to Dumbledore, but when they returned to Hogwarts they still didn't say one word, they just went straight up in the dorms.
