I know... very short chapter... and pretty short book... but there's going to be a sequel after this book because I've been bored a lot lately. Well... I'll stop

babbling.

The sight that met Lani's eyes made her jump back. She turned around to look at Voldemort; his face looked livid.

Lani looked back at the man. His glasses magnified bright green eyes that were flaming in fury. Under his messy black hair, Lani saw what confirmed her suspicions: a small, lightning-shaped scar.

"No..." Lani said looking at her father in severe confusion. "You're dead... you're both dead..."

"Like I said before" Harry said, pulling out his wand. "I used the polyjuice potion as well. Your dear Bellatrix died for nothing." He forced a laugh, although Lani could tell that it was not because he thought it funny, but to bother Voldemort. "Who did you kill? you ask? ...Well, you killed that idiot bastard Wormtail, a couple cute little charms and he drank that polyjuice potion right up"

Voldemort was absolutely livid. His red eyes gleamed maliciously. "Well" He said in a high, cold voice. "I won't be making that mistake again". "But as your dear professor Dumbledore said in your fifth year, 'There are things far worse than death' I think a little bit of pain first will do" He smirked, than raised his wand "Crucio!" He yelled, pointing his wand at Harry, but Harry was ready.

"Protego!" Harry cried, then, the strangest thing happened, a beam of golden light connected the two wands and a cage formed around them, A beautiful song started playing and then both Voldemort and Harry pulled their wands sharply upwards.

"Damn Priori Incantatem" Voldemort screeched.

That word rang a bell in Lanis' head... Priori Incantatem...Priori Incantatem... she thought, racking her brain to remember what it meant. She remembered reading it somewhere. Of course! she thought, trying to remember exactly what the book had said... '...When two wands are made with the same origin, most frequently called 'brothers', they cannot duel... blah blah blah...' Lani suddenly had an idea.

She looked up at the two men attempting to duel, but getting caught in Priori Incantatem every time and suddenly called "DAD!"

Both wands stopped firing and both men looked at Lani despite themselves. "Here!" she yelled, thrusting her wand towards him. He grabbed it and threw Lani his own wand.

"Now, we can duel" Harry said, a devilish gleam in his eye.

Voldemort didn't even respond, "Crucio!" he spat

"Protego!" Harry yelled, he was thrown back several feet by the force of the spell, but his countercharm had thrown off most of the curse.

"Silencio!" Voldemort yelled, but Harry ducked.

"Impendimenta!" Harry screamed, Voldemort countered the spell.

"What do I do?" Lani yelled suddenly at her father.

"Impendimenta!" Her father yelled at Voldemort, who flew backwards several feet, but had sent a counter curse that . "Elana! Get yourself out, now! Tell Dumbledore!" He countered a curse that Voldemort sent his way. then, as Lani was debating how she was to get to Hogwarts He added "Grab the twig!" He sent another curse towards Voldemort who countered it and sent it back towards Harry. Lani was starting towards the twig when her father yelled "Poppy seeds!". Lani doubted this was a spell so she was confused, but just then Voldemort sent a jet of green light towards her father.

Harry ducked the jet of green light and it headed straight towards Lani. Lani lunged out of the way, and grabbed the twig, she felt the tug from behind her navel and soon Harry and Voldemort disappeared in a flash of swirling colour.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lani ran past Will and Eliza who chased her into the castle, Lani was in way too much of a rush to stop and chat, her father could be dying as she ran.

Finally she stopped in front of the stone Gargoyle in front of Professor Dumbledore's office and realized she didn't have the Password. Then she remembered what her father had said before she left.

"Poppy seeds!" she gasped, and the stone gargoyle sprung to life and jumped out of the way.

"What's going on!" Eliza gasped from next to her, but she ignored it and ran to where Dumbledore's office door was.
