In The Dead Of Night
Chapter 3
Harry had fallen asleep on the cold, damp floor. He didn't even hear the jail door open. Harry felt something connect with his face. He awoke in a start. Lucius Malfoy was in his cell, with his hood down. All of his white hair framed his face. He had hit Harry across the face to get him up. "What the hell do you want?" asked Harry backing up. Lucius smiled evilly. "That hit was for turning my son into a ferret," he said. Harry retaliated. "Moody did that, not me!" Harry yelled. "You were the cause of it!" yelled Malfoy.
Harry now had backed up all the way until his back hit the wall behind him. Malfoy was right in his face. "I told you one day, you would meet the same end as your parents," Malfoy told Harry. Harry was enraged. "Don't talk to my parents!" he yelled while charging at Malfoy. Malfoy easily dodged. "Too easy," said Malfoy. He jumped Harry form behind and pinned him within his own arms. "I didn't come here to fight you Harry Potter. I came to retrieve you. It seems our Lord is ready for you. Let's go," said Malfoy while pulling a helpless Harry to where he would meet his fate.
Malfoy and Harry went outside to where Voldemort and the Death Eaters had set up a ritual table. It had chains on it, Harry guessed that was to tie his hands and legs down so he couldn't escape. Harry tried with all his might to get away. "No use fighting Potter. Even if you did escape, where would you go?" asked Malfoy looking down towards Harry. Harry realized the bastard had a point. The rest of the Death Eaters grabbed a hold of Harry and tied him on the table.
Voldemort raised his wand and then cast a spell. "Opping Hundi!" he chanted. A red glow started to rise from Harry. Harry didn't know what was happening. He then started to feel weak. Then it clicked. My blood is evaporating. He's killing me by draining my blood, Harry thought. Then all of a sudden, two glowing white figures had shielded Harry from any further damage to his body. "What is going on?" yelled Voldemort. All of the Death Eaters had disappeared. Harry opened his eyes wearily. He saw his mother and father protecting him from harm. "Mum. Dad," he said. "It's alright darling," said Lily. "We're here to save you son," said James.
Harry was stunned. His mother and father had saved him from the same graveyard some time ago. Harry was so weak he couldn't even move. "Hang onto us dear," said Lily. Lily and James helped Harry up and took off flying. Harry was now unconscious. Lily, James and Harry had flown over mountains, rivers, and hills. There in the distance was Hogwarts. Lily and James found Nearly Headless Nick and told him to go get Dumbledore. Nick was stunned to see Lily and James; but still, he did as he was told.
Dumbledore came as quick as he could. "Lily! James!" called Dumbledore. No answer. Lily and James by then had disappeared. Dumbledore leaned down and listened to Harry's heartbeat. It was low and barely hearable. He conjured up a stretcher and took him to the hospital wing. Lily and James made sure that Harry was safe before heading back up to heaven.
