I know it's short... but it wouldn't work so well with the next chapter, this is kind of a transition thing. Sorry. Anyway, if you guys could leave reviews (even just as a guest), fave and follow, just to let me know how I'm doing, what I could improve etc...
Disclaimer: If i had enough money I would buy HP and then all my fanfic would be true.
Chapter 31:
Credence stared at Percival before turning to Adriana and untying her. She took a deep breath. Where Adriana quite found the strength to get up and move she didn't know. All she knew was that she didn't have time to waste. Adrenaline coursed through her as she moved to free Percival. His eyes were questioning, she didn't have to time, or strength, to answer.
"Credence?" Percival asked. His voice was hoarse. "How?" Credence looked uncertain, like he wasn't sure he'd done the right thing.
"I had to know." He said stiffly. "No one explained."
"I'm so sorry Credence." Percival said. Adriana tugged him to his feet, mindful of his injuries.
"Not now." She muttered. "We don't have time." She pulled Percival along, hoping Credence would follow. He did.
"That mark..." Credence started. Percival stopped, going a sickly shade.
"I'm not... it's not." Percival struggled. Credence didn't say anything, dawning comprehension on his face. Adriana didn't see what they were supposed to do. Then she saw an old tin can.
"Credence, hold Percival." She instructed. Credence looked as uncertain as Percival did but complied. Adriana grabbed the tin can.
"What are you going to do with that?" Credence asked curiously.
"Something magical." Adriana said flatly. "Both of you need to touch it." Percival seemed to understand instantly, placing his forefinger on the can. Credence followed suit, looking curious. "Portus." She said with a wave of her wand. There was a flash, a horrible feeling around her navel, and a tug. They were gone.
Despite the frequency that Percival and Adriana had travelled by Portkey, neither managed to land. The three of them fell into a heap. Credence looked around, confused.
"What happened?" He asked. Adriana didn't answer, pulling Percival to his feet. A second later he dropped and puked his guts up. It was a horrible heaving noise. Adriana didn't know what to do except pat his back and hope it would stop soon. When the vomiting finally subsided, Adriana got Percival to his feet. He was weak, barely supporting himself. Credence ducked under his other arm and together, they managed to carry Percival towards the only visible building. Adriana banged on the door just as Percival's body gave out completely, slumping hard. He hit the ground, taking Adriana with him. The door opened, revealing Newt. He looked at Credence then down at Adriana, who was cradling Percival.
"Newt. Help." She begged.
