Chapter 3

Feeling rather confident that you heard the two death eaters going downstairs you work your way towards the stairs and listen. You don't hear anyone coming. With your wand held at the ready you make your way downstairs. There are two death eaters in the parlor, but you think that they're different from the ones who were upstairs. You sneak over to the doorway and listen.

"I wish we could be upstairs." One of them is saying.

"We're needed down here."

"No one would notice if we went upstairs."

"Our Lord would notice, and I'm not going against his wishes," the other replies. "Once Harry Potter arrives we can all go upstairs. Until then we must wait."

"How will we know when he arrives?"

"He'll most likely be brought through the front door."

"What if he sneaks in."

"Not likely. There's no where to sneak in at. The front door is guarded and everything else is locked and blocked by a spell." Having heard enough you decide to go upstairs and find Voldemort. As you reach the stairs you run into two Death Eaters.

"Why Harry Potter," one says as the other disarms you. "I'm surprised you weren't expecting us. But we were expecting you." You struggle against their strong arms as they take you upstairs.

"The Dark Lord has been looking forward to this night for a very long time," the one holding you leers. He drags you up to the third floor and opens the door.

"Master," he says, bowing as low as possible without releasing you. "I have brought you Harry Potter."

"Well done," Voldemort says, standing up. "You shall be well rewarded Avery. Bring him here." You continue to struggle as you are brought to Voldemort.

"I am glad to see that you answered my letter, Harry," Voldemort says, running a long finger down your cheek. "I imagine that right now you're planning on how you're going to beat me in a duel. I imagine that you have learned a lot since the last time I saw you."

"I'll kill you, Voldemort," you say through clenched teeth, hearing several death eaters gasp behind you.

"There's no need to be disrespectful," Voldemort says, pulling out his wand. "Because, you see, there will be no duel this time." He raises his wand and you struggle one last time before you die.

The End
