I've got nothing to say so…

CHAPTER 16

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Harry tried to move, but a wave of pain shot up his body. He had recently gotten back from torture and he could barely move. He felt dizzy. Why couldn't those Death Eaters just kill him quickly?

'No!' He thought to himself. 'Don't give in… not yet…' He told himself. Right when he was about to drift to unconsciousness, the door awakened him with a bang. Harry's eyes flew open.

They weren't supposed to come this late.

The figure kicked Harry in the ribs. Harry cried out rubbed his side tenderly. "Up!" Grunted the Death Eater. Harry tried to get up, but then after a good effort he fell back down again. He was too weak to even stand. The Death Eater rolled his eyes under his mask, and cast a levitating charm on him. Soon they were on their way.

It was as if waves of pain would hit him every time they took a step. It wasn't enough to push Harry to unconsciousness but it was enough to make him wish it would.

They arrived too early for Harry's taste, but he was just dumped in the middle of the circle. It must have been an important meeting, or they wouldn't have brought Harry.

Then another thought crossed Harry's mind… were they finally going to kill him?

Before he could ponder this any longer. Voldemort stood up from this throne. He was smiling. It sent chills throughout his body, but it didn't show it. Voldemort circled around Harry, like a lion circling his pray. Suddenly he disappeared and appeared on his other side, and whispered something to him. "Are you ready to die Potter?"

Shock passed over Harry's face but then he turned neutral again. Then Harry did something that even surprised himself. He simply looked up at Voldemort and spit in his eye.

Voldemort's smile vanished as he wiped his face. He flicked his wand and Harry felt like he was slapped in the face, but with no hand. "I thought we took all the fight out of you Harry, I am truly surprised. Most people at your stage are begging to die, and I am kind enough to grant death to them."

Harry tried to hold back his fear, his anger, his despair… he forced himself to show nothing. Voldemort raised his wand and said, "This time there is no one to save you, and you are in no shape to save your self. Your time has come."

Harry simply glared at him and Voldemort merely smirked back, but before Voldemort could say anything Snape came bursting through the doors. "Milord!" He said breathless, not even bothering to look at Harry.

Voldemort seemed like he was going to kill Snape right then and there, but before he could do so, Snape blurted out, "We've found the Order's hideout! The Death Eaters you sent out are dueling with them as we speak." This caught Voldemort's attention.

"What?" He asked sharply.

"The group of Death Eaters you sent out a few days ago found the Order's hideout, it's at abandoned business building. 1400 Purnavill Avenue," He replied hurriedly.

Voldemort paused, and then asked, "How many are there?" Voldemort asked.

"I- I don't know… I'm guessing over fifty." He said.

Voldemort smiled evilly, all thoughts of Harry gone. "My loyal Death Eaters! We have at last found the Order's hideout, and we need every single man we've got. Remember that our goal is to slaughter as many as we can. Crabbe, Goyle, Knott! Stay here and guard the castle. For the rest of you, apparate to 1400 Purnavill Avenue. Meeting dismissed!" He yelled.

Immediately there was scattered popping around the room, sounding like hundreds of guns going off at once. Only four stayed, Crabbe, Goyle, Knott, and Voldemort. Voldemort looked back down at Harry. "Tomorrow Potter you will die- for now I will just settle with killing your little friends, what are their names? Oh yes, the Weasley's and the Granger girl… and I will kill them all personally." Harry looked up, for the first time showing his horror.

Voldemort laughed and crucioed Harry. Harry yelled as pain shot up and down his body, over and over. Suddenly Voldemort stopped and said "Put him back in the cellar." Then there was another pop, and Voldemort disappeared.

Harry looked in the spot where the darkest wizard of all time had just been, scared for Ron's and Hermione's lives, as well as everybody else fighting. Before another thought could cross his mind, Crabbe and Goyle picked him up by the elbows, and dragged him back to his cell.

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

McGonagall and her army of Order members and Aurors all nervously waited for the Death Eaters to arrive. Snape said that he didn't know how many there would be.

She turned to look how everyone else was fairing in the cold night air. They all looked pretty nervous, shifting their weight from foot to foot. Well, all of the Aurors that dared to come seemed a bit more nervous than the Order members.

Suddenly there was what sounded like scattered gun shots as they all the Death Eaters arrived in a mob a few yards away. McGonagall got in to dueling stance and only hope that Ron, Hermione, and Katherine would get Harry out fast, so they could all apparate away.

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

"Right here!" Katherine yelled over the wind, pointing to a particularly dark patch of trees. The movement made her wobble, and she quickly held back on to Ron before she fell off the broom. Luckily she wasn't the only one new to riding a broom. Hermione was having her own trouble.

"How do you know?" Ron yelled back, lowering himself a bit, but before he could reply suddenly the broom came to a halt, and they were both bucked off it and sent hurtling forwards, landing hard on the ground.

"Ow!" Ron exclaimed rubbing his behind. "Good thing we were so close to the ground!" He said and helped Katherine up. Hermione walked up to them.

"Why didn't you get bucked off?" He asked, sounding a little irritated.

"Well after I saw you guys bucked off, you think that I would keep flying towards you?" she stated. "There is obviously some sort of broom barrier, so you can't fly over this patch of woods. I think we are getting close." She said, looking behind them for the first time. Suddenly a castle seemed to vaporize out of nowhere. She gasped. Katherine and Ron turned around to see what she was awing over.

Behind them stood Voldemort's castle.

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
