Chapter 8,

Snake of the Heart.

Again I don't own potter just the plot, some words, and my own character so just read dammit!

I knew it was a dungeon corridor, almost every step you took you could hear the hollow crunching of skulls and a dank rotting scent was heavy in the air. Weasley was again simpering like a child, I should have killed him, and I would have too If I had not reached the door first. The door was glowing brightly with dark magic and I could tell this was what Dumbledore had warned me about, this was the true test, if I continued on I would be hated by all forever. Would I care or would I not? What would happen when I went through that door, would not the golden trio be hated too? I did not have too much time to think on this because I had become enraptured by a glowing silver metallic snake, that had slithered down the door and curled around the knob barring its deep green fangs at me. I stared in wonder at this dear snake slowly reaching my clawed hand out towards it. At least I did, until Granger grabbed my hand pulling it back away from the snake.

I turned ready to slash open her throat, but as soon as I looked away I came to my senses and listened as she talked.

"Raelyn, you Mustn't touch or look at that snake if you do you will be mesmerized by it. That snake is called the snake of heart, and the moment it bites you everyone who does not love you deeply or like you in some way will see you no longer, they will hate you and turn away from you as if you were scum on their shoes."

I smiled sadly seeing that I was right about the door.

"I understand, but I feel I would rather save the one I love and be hated by all others rather then let Draco and your friends die and be hated by their families and friends, for I had been selfish, I have to do this, no one else but me."

And it seemed, in that moment, I saw admiration glimmer in all their eyes as I started to reach for the door knob again.

I silently hoped that it would not hurt too bad, that I would be able to save Draco and the people who I knew would soon hate me. Without thinking more I quickly grabbed the handle and the snake bit me. It felt as if I were floating, I felt so happy and warm, faces of the people I loved swirled around me, Draco, my family, my few friends it was bliss. But in an instant their smiles turned to scowls and all the happiness drained away, and I was left feeling sad, lonely and hollow. That was when I came back to myself and opened the door to find a circle of death eaters and behind them Lord Voldemort torturing Draco and the others.

Automatically the golden trio rushed in flinging hexes and dropping death eaters like flies. Without thinking I rushed toward Voldemort casting a dark arts curse Draco had taught me only weeks ago. I hit him, he fell to the floor curled into a ball just as a scared child would and I watched as he tried to move, that whip slashes and random curses started afflicting him. I smiled evilly as I knelt to help Draco. I kept smiling as the trio advanced on Voldemort ready to kill him. But right before they got to him he disappeared, pain and all. Then the questions began.

What curse was that you may ask? Well I own the random word that it is called just to let you know, but you'll find out in the next chapter so be patient! Laterz.
