"Is he alive," Malfoy asked as they ran over to Ron. Hermione got there first and checked his pulse. She started to cry.
"I don't think so," she sobbed laying her head right next to Ron's.
"Hermione, what are you crying about now." They heard a voice say. Hermione's head snapped up.
"Ron, you're alive!" Harry ran up to Ron and smiled.
"I was wondering when someone would come," Ron said sitting up, "I mean He-who-must-not-be-named, is not very good company." Ron stopped and started looking around.
"Did you guys bring any food?" Ron asked, cheerfully. Harry looked at Malfoy and they both grinned. Hermione slapped Ron in the head.
"Oh! Hermione what did you do that for?" Ron yelped rubbing his head. Hermione frowned.
"How could you be so happy? We have all been worried sick! I have been worried sick!" Hermione yelled, slapping him again.
"Hermione stop!" Ron screamed. She got up, still frowning, and began to look around.
"How long have I been gone?" Ron asked, staring at Hermione.
"Two months," Harry said. Ron looked shocked.
"Really, it has only felt like a week," he said, getting to his feet.
"That happens in these things," Hermione said, as she came over. She nodded at Harry who knew what she wanted him to do.
"Ron," Harry said, "Riley's dead." Hermione looked at the floor and Malfoy looked away.
"What?" Ron asked, looking surprised. Then he looked straight ahead. His eyes became wide and he edged backward. Harry looked behind him and gasped. Hermione and Malfoy flew backward, and Hermione tripped over Ron.
"Welcome to my little home." A cold voice spoke. Voldemort stood there. His skin was pale and his eyes were glassy. He turned to Malfoy.
"Welcome Draco, have you come to join me?" Voldemort asked. Malfoy smirked.
"Of course my Lord..." Malfoy answered, walking forward. Hermione's mouth dropped open. Malfoy stood behind Voldemort, his hand in fists. Harry glared at Malfoy.
"I can't believe you! That's how you knew the password." Harry yelled. Malfoy's smile widened.
"No actually I just guessed on that," Draco answered, slyly. Harry heard Hermione and Ron scream. He glanced behind him and saw Hermione and Ron stuck to a black wall. Harry looked back at Voldemort.
"Why did you kill Riley?" Harry asked. He thought he saw Malfoy rub his eyes, but he decided he had just imagined it. Malfoy was always on Voldemort's side.
"I can't have her and her powers get in my way," Voldemort said, "So I decided to get her out of the way."
"Well you didn't do a very good job!" Everyone looked past Voldemort, and to the person who had spoke.
"Riley!" Hermione screamed. It was Riley, standing there looked angrier then Harry had ever seen. Voldemort was more surprised than anyone.
"Pettigrew killed you! I saw him do it!" Voldemort bellowed. Riley shook her head.
"No, actually he didn't. I think I should tell you the whole story." Riley said, " When I went to Harry's house over the summer I heard voices in my dreams, I saw images. They were mostly of James, Harry's father, and my mother. Some were also of Lily Potter and my mother Tracey, but some were not. Others were the future not the past. I have seen many events occur and this is one of them. I haven't seen all of what is going to happen only up to this minute. I have been planning this for months.
"Some things that have happened after Ron had gotten kidnapped were my doing." She turned to Harry, "When I heard Pansy talking about me I let my cat loose on her. I have been invisible for the past two months walking around the school. Mostly following Hermione, since she defended me and Ron."
"Wait how are you still alive?" Harry asked. Riley smiled.
"Polyjuice Potion," she said quickly, " I had months to make enough for a week. I lived because I wasn't even attacked. Lina Black was attacked. She and I had switched places for that week, just in case Voldemort came early. She agreed to help me. Don't worry she isn't dead. Pettigrews wand was broken. It only affected her for a couple of hours. Dumbledore also knew the whole time." Riley smiled.
"Smart little girl Riley," Voldemort said, "But your powers can't be useful know. Seeing the future or past won't do any good, neither will turning invisible." Ron suddenly screeched.
"Hey, Riley! Can you tell me who I was going to marry, since I'm gonna die soon," Ron asked. Riley turned her head quickly, and gave Ron the do-you-even-know-what-your-saying look.
"Ron this is not the time," she said, sounding impatient.
"Oh, please!" Ron yelled.
"Fine you're going to Marry Harry," Riley said, rolling her eyes.
"Really? Gross," Ron frowned.
"No you prat," Riley yelled, looking astonished, and "I was being sarcastic."
"Would you please just tell me?" Ron asked.
"Ron if you're going to die what is the point of knowing who you were going to marry?" Riley asked. Hermione and Harry both looked at Ron.
"Enough of this!" Voldemort screamed. He took out his wand and yelled a spell. Hermione fell to the ground at the edge of another huge cliff. Ron fell off the cliff.
"Ron!" Hermione screamed, looking over the edge anxiously. Harry suddenly got pushed over the edge by a gust of wind. Hermione got up and ran over to Hermione.
"I will kill you both now," Voldemort said, laughing. Riley sighed.
"Oh shut up Voldie, your glory days are over," Riley said, sounding extremely annoyed.
"Are you challenging me?" Voldemort asked, walking forward.
"Duh! How stupid can you be?"
"I would shut your mouth if I were you Riley."
"Really and who's gonna make me? You? That'll be the day, look how scrawny you are. Even Harry could beat you with one punch," Riley giggled.
"Riley I really don't think that is very smart," Hermione whispered. Malfoy stepped back.
"Draco, go see if those two boys are alive," Voldemort pointed to the cliff. Malfoy ran and jumped off the cliff. Voldemort ran behind the girls and Riley whipped around. Hermione did too. All three of them had their wands out, ready.
"You can't win! What is a muggle-born and a smart-mouth little witch going to do to me?"
"A lot! With help from us." Malfoy, Ron, and Harry stood behind Voldemort, their wands ready also. Voldemort turned around.
"Malfoy what are you doing. You're with me." Voldemort said, his voice trembling.
"It's called acting! Duh," Malfoy screamed.
"You and your little girlfriend are just the same. You're both smart alecks. Your father would not be happy with you," Voldemort spoke slowly.
"Are you his father? No, so I don't think you should be commenting Voldie," Riley said, turning around slowly. Voldemort pointed his wand at her.
"Shut up girl! Would you stop calling me Voldie," he screamed angrily.
"NO! I like calling you Voldie, so deal with it, or pick a different evil name thing. I never really liked Voldemort anyway," Riley said back, putting her hands on her hips. Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Malfoy exchanged amused faces. Suddenly, Voldemort sent a curse Riley's way. Riley lifted up her hand and shot the same curse back at Voldemort. The curse hit Voldemort harder and he flew backward. It didn't have any effect on either of them.
"Dude, you seriously need counseling. That might work out some of your problems," Riley said, smiling down at him. Malfoy stepped next to her. Voldemort suddenly disappeared.
"He'll be back," Harry said, looking down at the spot where Voldemort had been.
"I'm going to dinner," Ron said, "I need food." He ran to the door that had suddenly appeared. Hermione and Riley smiled and walked out the door toward Ron. Malfoy stayed behind to wait for Harry.
" I will be back for you Harry Potter, and your little friends!" Voldemort's voice reached his ears. Harry smiled, and as he started to walk out he said, I'll be ready.
