Chapter 22- Time to Play Juliet

Tristan's POV

I'm a moron. A complete idiot. I brought some time to think of a plan, but what could I possibly do to get us out of this mess. She probably hates me now. I don't blame her really. She trusted me and then I said id be ok with killing her. I need to do something. And quick… Think, Tristan, think… you're not in the top 5 of you're class for no reason… There has to be something, anything I can do… THAT'S IT!

I walk into the kitchen and make some coffee and a few pop tarts. Then on my way upstairs I make a pit-stop in my room I lift up the loose floorboard and take out a small canister, shake it to make sure it's still full of the little pills. It is…great. I pocket the canister and go to find Rory.

I walk into the library and she's there, sleeping. Her head resting on her chest. I glance at the clock it's 4, people will be arriving in a about 30 minutes so I need to be quick. I place the coffee cup under Rory's nose to wake her. Sure enough her eyelids flutter open after a few seconds. She looks at the cup, then at me.

"Poison it did you?" she says with some difficulty. Her throats probably dry from lack of use.

"No. I figured you'd need your strength if we're gonna get out of here."

"What do we need to get out of here for? You're going to kill me remember?"

"As great as you may look dead I think it would be a little stupid to kill you or harm you in any way. Your mum would chase me screaming through the halls of Hogwarts and for a muggle she's pretty fast." I tell her trying to make her smile. Unsuccessfully.

"So what is your plan to avoid my mothers decapitation of you once she finds out you brought me the one way ticket to meet my maker?" God she's cute when she gets angry like this.

"Well…" I take the little canister from my pocket and tip one of the pills into my hand so she can see it.

"And that is supposed to be?" she asks cutting me off.

"Well did you ever read Romeo and Juliet?"

"Of course I read Romeo and Juliet. Who hasn't? but this is hardly the time to discuss a play by some dead guy"

"You don't understand. You remember the potion Juliet took to put her into a 'death- like' state for forty two hours?"

"yeah"

"Well this is an updated version. You take it and it enters the blood system instantly and lasts 12 hours. If you swallow it just as I raise my wand I'll fire the killing curse just to the left of your shoulder and hit the chair. From where I'm standing it'll look to everyone else like I'm killing you. The chair will collapse but everyone will assume the spell I fired was powerful."

"How'd I know your telling the truth and that that little pill isn't really poison to save you the trouble of killing me. I mean I know your too weak hearted to actually kill me."

"Maybe it is poison but are you willing to risk any chance you have of going home." I can see her debating with herself so I hand her the pop-tarts and coffee- thinking fuel.

"If you really intend to take me home why don't we leave now?" she looks at me accusingly before taking another bite of pop-tart.

"Because this way I'll enough memories to hand over to Dumbledore and the ministry to put every last death eater away for good." I reason with her.

She squints her eyes at me one last time, "Ok but you owe me mister."

"Oh and what form of payment will you accept?" I ask raising an eyebrow suggestively.

"Oh this might just cover it.." she says leaning up to kiss me and smiling.

"TRISTAN!" I hear my dads voice boom throughout the house.

"I better go" I say quickly. "Here, put this in your mouth when you hear us approaching but don't swallow it until I raise my wand o.k." I hand her the pill and she nods at me and I retie the ropes binding her with my wand just loose enough so that she can reach her mouth. I rush to the door and blow her one last kiss before I leave. I take a few passages to the kitchen, where my dad finds me.

"Building up your energy for later no doubt, eh son? I'm really proud of you, you know?" he says looking at me. I just smile and nod afraid that if I open my mouth I might vomit.

Rory's POV

Well he came up with a plan I'll give him that. Weather or not it will work though is another matter altogether. There are so many places for error that it seems crazy. And I'm going along with it so does that make me crazy also? Oh well I guess when it's a matter of life or death you just have to do whatever you can. Hang on, was that? Yes, footsteps. Well here goes nothing… time to play Juliet. I slip the pill in my mouth and manage to put my arms back into their bindings just as the door opens.

A bunch of around twenty robed death eaters enter the room followed by Tristan in death eater robes but no mask.

"Well boy! Get on with it. You want to prove you can handle this then go on kill the girl." One of the men snarls.

Tristan walks up to me he's standing eight feet away at a ninety degree angle to the death eaters. when he shoots they really wont notice that his spell hits the chair not me.

He looks directly at me and raises his wand. I swallow the pill quickly. Tristan waits a few seconds and as I feel consciousness leaving me the last things I hear are Tristan shouting "Avada Kedavra" a few of the death eaters cheering then just as my head hit the floor from the chairs damage a voice that sounded suspiciously like Jess's screaming "Nooooooooo!"

Tristan's POV

Oh great, just what I need golden boy and his band of merry followers turn up to save the day just as I'm pretending to kill their best friend. Holy fuck! How'd I get out of this one.
