Chapter 13:Saving Lexi
Harry looked at the blond girl who stood next to him,not seeming to notice that a few strands of her long,dirty blond hair where sticking to her butterbeer cap necklace and radish earrings. With his jaw clenched he asked in a voice barely constrained of anger,"What the bloody hell are you doing?"
She seemed oddly unpeturbed by his tone and said,"Helping you." in a dreamy voice,her huge blue eyes staring up at him.
Harry's mouth fell open and he cast his gaze over to Hermione and Ron,bewildered. Hermione looked at him. She was confused,amused,worried,and angry all at the same time.
Ron shook his head,bright red hair falling into his eyes,"We better just go. My daughter needs us." He said firmly,beginning to walk torwards Voldemort's home. He swallowed hard and looked behind him to see Hermione,Harry,and Luna behind him.
The foursome ran torwards the doors and opened them slowly,walking in.
Immediatly they where overwhelmed by the awful smell and the darkness of the home. "What's that smell?" Hermione whispered softly,looking around the room in horror as her mouth parted and she held tightly to Ron's arm.
Harry let out a shaky breath as he caught the stench of blood. He didn't say anything so as not to worry them and continued on. The four got to a door with the dark mark carved into it and he and Ron pushed it open slowly. The sight before them was horrifying. Alexandria lay on a large rock,the glamour charm had worn of so her long bushy red hair fell limply around her head,matted with blood. Her uniform skirt and blouse where torn. and her legs seemed to be twisted rather uncomfortably.
Harry let out a shaky breath and grabbed Hermione by the waist and lifted her from the floor even as she tried to scratch at him and kick him to try and get to her daughter. Hermione bit down on his hand,drawing blood and getting out of his grasp she sprinted torwards Lexi,Ron following behind her quickly.
Hermione fell to her knees at her child's side and began to sob as she pulled her daughter to her. A darkly cloaked figure laughed and stood staring at the scene before him.
Harry's scar began to burn and he realized that it was Voldemort. "No." he whispered softly. Luna as if realizing what he was thinking,pulled out her wand.
Harry looked at her out of the corner of his eye and motioned her to stay where she was.
"Leave them alone Riddle." Harry said in a deadly voice.
Voldemort turned on his heel torward the voice he knew all to well and sneered. "Potter,did you come to see the show? Mudbloods are quite entertaining to torture,I remember how it was with your mother. Of course you remember,I can see you do. The look in your eyes tell all."
"You shut about my mother." The-Boy-Who-Lived shouted as he pointed his wand at Voldemort's forehead.
Voldemort took his wand out as well,but not quickly enough, "Accio Voldemort's wand." Harry yelled out,holding out the hand not holding his own wand,to catch Voldemort's
When he got it in his hands he snapped it in half.
Voldemort looked outraged and then he smiled and whispered something under his breath. Harry was suddenly magically pulled torwards Voldemort's side. Voldemort lifted Harry from the floor by his throat and slammed him intoa wall. Harry dropped his wand and it rolled torwards Luna who threw it to Harry. Harry got back on his feet as Voldemort let go of him and said Stupefy,dodging the curse his enemy had thrown at him. As soon as Voldemort fell stiffly to the ground Harry staggered over to where Luna kneeled next to Lexi,Ron,and Hermione. She was hugging a sobbing Hermione comfortingly as Ron looked down at the red-haired girl,stunned.
Harry put his hand on Ron's shoulder and Ron turned torward him. "Harry,Sh--she can't walk!" She can't even STAND!" Ron told him his voice filled with barely constrained anger. "I'll kill them,all of them for doing this."
"Ron,this isn't helping! We have gotta get out of here." Harry said hurriedly,being the voice of reason. He picked the limp,unconscious girl up in his arms and stood quickly,watching as Ron and Luna helped the still hysterical Hermione to her feet.
Just as the four heard footsteps cming closer and closer t the room they apparated out and landed in the Hospital Wing.
Madame Pomfrey and Harry Arthur ran torwards them. "Oh! This poor child!! Quickly put her on a bed so I can see what is wrong with her!" the healer said. Harry placed the small girl on the first bed and Harry Arthur sat down beside his sister saying "Sorry" to her over and over. Ron,Hermione,Harry,and Luna walked torwards the bed and gazed down at the girl in the bed,waiting to hear what injuries she had besides the obvious.
A/N:The deatheaters had left the room during this chapter by the time Harry and the gang got there. You wil find out what weapn they used on Lexi in the next chapter as well as her injuries and if she will be able to walk again. There wasn't much fighting in this chapter because I am saving that fr one of the last two chapters when Harry goes to kill Voldemort.
