Chapter 10: Chased Failer

-Harry's point of view-

Oh no I got to warn the Bauderlaires at once. Harry thought this in worry and concern. Harry lied low in the bush with his wand griped tightly in his hand. As he stood to run back to the house, one of Count Olaf's troupes came out of the strange house and spotted him standing in the bushes.

"Hay! You want are you doing?" yelled the troupe with a baldhead. From the corner of his eyes he could see that Count Olaf and Bellatrix also spotted him and looked angry and out raged, but Bellatrix a playful smirk was on her face. Oh no, that can't be good.

"Get him troupe! Get him someone!" yelled Count Olaf angrily, as Bellatrix and the troupes ran out of the house in Harry's direction. Harry ran as fast as he could with everything his got. Behind him, he could hear yelling of the troupes and rude remarks from Bellatrix. Harry ran thought a wall of bushes hopping to lose them. But he could still hear them behind him.

Harry could feel himself bleeding; he looked down at his shirt to see it all torn up and cuts all over his skin. But he kept running right thought the park. Harry jumps the logs and dodges trees.

As Harry ran around one tree, he tripped over the roots and land face in the dirt. Hearing the voices getting closer, he got up and started running again right of the park and down the street. Every muscle scream in pain and hurt; his legs beginning to feel like lead; and felt sweat dropping down his face. But Harry didn't stop running and he could careless about these things. All he cared about right now was the Bauderlaires safety and the people behind him.

Harry felt his lungs feel like they were being ripped apart as he breathed.Fortunately, not far away was the Dursley's house. He never thought he would be so happy to see it in a million years. But the yelling behind him reminded him of the danger behind him.

When he reached the front door, he found out Violet must have locked the door. I don't have time for this. Harry waved his wand and said, "Rictusempra!" the door went flying inwards making aloud boom sound. Harry could hear the yelling coming closer. He ran up the stairs and stopped at the top he looked for any sign of the Bauderlaires. Suddenly, he felt someone watching him, he look over towards his room and spotted Klaus looking at him and for a moment they made eye contact. In Klaus's eyes was understanding and friendship. Harry felt himself smile as he saw this. He made his way towards the bedroom, but when heard yelling downstairs outside the house, he quickened his pace and his smiled disappeared. As he entered his room he locked the door and looked around the room to see Violet feared, but not showing it, Sunny sat shivering in her arms, Klaus wore a worried look on his face, and then he spotted Headwig. An idea suddenly popped in to his head. I'll send Headwig for help. Harry grabbed Headwig and opened the window.

"Headwig go get help and quick!" shouted Harry as he released her into the air. He could hear footsteps coming up the stairs. Harry held his wand out ready to fight as he placed himself between the door and the Bauderlaires. " Count Olaf's here and troupes and Bellatrix, an enemy of mine, chased me all the way here."

"What!" shouted the Bauderlaires in fear as Harry handle his ground. He didn't move or twitch when they shouted. He was afraid too but hind it from the Bauderlaires. He just hopes Headwig comes back with help in time and that he can hold the fort until then.

All of a sudden the shouting stopped, they heard a voice whisper something behind the door. Harry starred hard at the door and got ready for the attack. Then, the door started cracking and giving off a red- orange glow through the cracks and a high whistle sound. Then in a sudden blast, pieces of the door flew out in every direction and the sound of laughter echoed in Harry's room as it would in a cave. Harry was just in time to put up a shield around the Bauderlaires, but before he got up the shield, pieces of the door already hit Harry.

As the Bauderlaires watched the door break into millions of pieces and fly out in different directions. As this happened they thought they would be hurt for sure, but when nothing happened they looked up and around them they saw white dust clouds everywhere and looked down and saw they were unharmed. As the cloud s cleaned they saw Harry had put up a shield around them, but they saw that Harry had been hit by some pieces and began to bleed. But Harry didn't seem to care or move from his position.

Harry glared at Bellatrix as she entered the room with a smug smirk. He tightens his grab around his wand as she stopped in front of him.

"So, little potter- wotter can do some magic." said Bellatrix with a smirk in a mocking way. "O' wait students aren't allowed to do magic outside of school. Especially, when muggles are around."

Her smirk widened as she spoke, Harry would be more than gladly rip that smirk off her face. Harry saw in the corner of his eye the Bauderlaires were confused at the word she used, but seem to get that it was an insult to them.

"Get out!" hissed Harry angrily as he raised his wand at Bellatrix. "Get out now, Bellatrix! Before, I kill you!"

"Oh. Poor little Hawy still angry about losing his mutt of a godfather." said Bellatrix in a silly, mocking tone. She laughed, Her laughs echoed in his ears. Harry remembers that laugh, that sick evil-laugh, his anger increased so much that he saw red and his eyes really turned red too.

"DON'T EVERY TALK ABOUT SIRIUS LIKE THAT AGAIN!" shouted Harry in out rage. Harry raised his wand and started to shout out spells, "Depulso! Stupefy! Rictusempra! Expelliarmus!"

Bellatrix dodged every single one of his spells, except the last one. It hit her right in the chest, knocking her to the ground. She slowly got back on her feet and looked very serious and very angry.

"So, Potter you don't want to play with me now. O' well." said Bellatrix angrily. Bellatrix raised her wand for battle. Harry started throwing spells left and right, again. This time Bellatrix dodged left, right, left, right, each time taking a step forward. So, Bellatrix was right in front of Harry. Before Harry released want happened, Bellatrix shouted, "Crucio!"

The spell hit right in the head. Harry's screams filled the room instantly, making the Bauderlaires shiver in horror. When Bellatrix lifted the spell Harry collapsed to the ground with a thud. Harry could only hear his screams and Bellatrix's laughter in his ears. Before he passed out, he knew he failed to protect the Bauderlaires and that Headwig get help was there only true hope. Sadness, anger, and failure filled his heart as the darkness claimed him.

A/N: right! Now lets see want you got to say. Don't make me scream.
