CH. 7
Lily and Keely walked in the thickening silence for another five minutes until, "Hello Miss Evans." A soft yet pleasant voice split through the silence. Lily whirled around, dragging poor Keely with her.
"Who's there?" Lily asked defensively, wand raised. A familiar chuckle came through the darkness.
"It is Albus Dumbledore." In the darkness Lily cocked her head and tried to think up spells.
"How can I be sure that it's really Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts?" Lily's ears raised slightly as she listened for any unusual movement in the darkness.
"Ask me anything you would like. I will answer all of the questions correctly." Backing into a wall she felt slightly more safe because no one could attack her from behind and she'd be able to see in front of her about three feet. Not much but it was light. Lily tightened her grip on Keely's hand and began questioning.
"What did I get on my NEWT's?"
"Outstanding." 'that was too easy, and he's being arrogent. Dumbledore is not arrogant.'
"Um, who are my living relatives?" Lily knew only Dumbledore and very close friends knew the answer to this.
"Simple, your sister, what's her name…ah yes, Petunia." Lily thought quickly of what to do. She knew this man could not be Dumbledore.
"Nox." She whispered quietly. The light went out and Lily began to tug on Keely's arm. Moving closer to the elevator they slid along the wall.
"Miss Evans?" the voice was not pleasant anymore. Now it was a deadly hiss. 'Oh No! Not now.' Lily thought.
"Run to the elevator as quick as you can and run home. Call James if no one is there. Tell him what happened and where I am. I will be home soon." Lily whispered quietly to Keely. Giving her a slight nudge she heard her quiet footsteps disappear down the hall.
"Miss Evans, where are you?" the voice hissed. She was close enough to the elevator now to hear the doors slide shut. The voice sounded farther away so she hoped he hadn't heard. Attempting to gage where he was in the dark hallway/thing, Lily walked slightly away from the elevator.
"Miss Evans! My patience wears thin! Where are you?" the voice hissed, not but a few feet directly in front of where she now stood. Raising her wand she prepared to run.
"Expelliarmus!" Lily shrieked into the darkness and bolted down the hallway, praying that she'd hit him.
"CRUCIO!" Voldemort screamed. The curse shot past Lily and slammed into the elevator. 'Oh, now what!' Lily thought frantically of a way to escape now that the elevator was destroyed. 'There has to be stairs down here!' Lily thought and began to feel the walls for a door or something. She heard Voldemort stalking around farther down the hallway.
"Where are you, you filthy mudblood?" he yelled, his voice reverberating around the hall. 'A handle!' Lily thought as her hand hit a cold, metal handle. Slowly turning it she opened the door and stepped into the black room. Silently closing the door, Lily put a locking charm on the door.
"Lumos." She said quietly and a small light fell upon stairs. Strengthening the beam of light she held her wand up and saw the many flights of stairs. Hearing a blood curdling scream Lily whispered,
"Nox." And as the light went out she heard him stomping around in the hall. Putting a few stronger locking spells on the door Lily began to run up the stairs. 'Oh my gosh." Lily thought tugging at her skirt. Stopping on the second landing Lily quickly transfigured her outfit into a running suit. 'Heck of a lot easier to run in.' Lily thought with a hint of sarcasm. Running up another two flights of stairs Lily heard a bang. Looking down into the darkness Lily squinted to try and see what had happened. 'Oh my, he broke through, he's coming.' And she began to run as fast as she could up the many flights of stairs. 'I can't stop. I want to see my baby again.' Lily though as a few tears fell from her eyes.
"CRUCIO!" Voldemort screamed. The spell zipped into a flight of stairs in front of Lily. Stopping at the gapping hole in front of her Lily turned. The darkness surrounded her. 'I'm never going to see my baby again. I'll never see James.' Tears streamed down her face. Turning back to the hole she tried to gage how long the hole was. Lily's heart rate sped up and her palms began to sweat.
"Wingardium Leviosa." Lily pointed her wand at herself and began to float across the gapping hole. Landing softly on the other side she began to run, tripping on a stair she fell forward and hit her forehead on a stair. Lifting herself painfully up the stairs she dragged herself up the next few flights. Stopping on a landing she leaned against a wall. Feeling around she felt a doorknob, trying to turn it she moved away from the door. Lily sighed and brought her wand up to the door.
"Alohomora." Lily whispered and tried the handle again, but nothing. 'Oh, I'm going to die.' Lily thought to herself as she saw a small light brightening in the distance.
