It was dark and dank, the tiny cell that confined seemed so cold it was wet. You didn't know what had happened, but was sure it wasn't good. You had been awake for what seemed like a few hours. No one had come around to tell you what had been happening. You didn't make a noise, afraid who would come any ways. Your stomach grumbled, and you wondered how long had it been since you last ate. With Ron, you were scared for him as well. What happened to him? Was he dead? You sank to the bottom of the floor, beginning to sob.
A clanging of
the door startled you. Sitting up preparing yourself, for what you
weren't sure. Coming up to your face was the eeriely
familiar
face of Severus Snape. His greasy hair covered the majority of his
face, and you couldn't tell the evil schemes he could be thinking of
behind those cold eyes. "What's you do with Ron?" Snape
sneered, "Weasley, we had no real use of him, it was you the
Dark Lord wanted." 'At least he's okay,' you thought to yourself
solemnly. "What does Voldemort want with me?" Snape cringed
at the name, but recovered a moment later. "The same thing we
wanted with other members of your family." His smile sent
shivers down your spine.
"If you just give us the other half of the Auckland Amulet we'll let you leave without a hair missing from that pretty little head of yours." You laughed, "What if I say no?" "Then you caqn know the gaping suction of the Dementor's Kiss." He just to across the room, where you saw dozens of black cloaked figures gliding from here to there. Your heart sank, as Snape opened the cell door, and reached for you.
Nearly fifty miles away Harry Potter was using the
Reductor Charm on his wand to find a decent trail to find you on. He
had borrowed one of the Hogwart's Thestrals hoping no one would
notice. He had waited til one in the morning to venture out on his
way. The reptilian horse had now halted, finding a good portion of
field mice to munch on. Harry drew out a piece of parchment to mark
out where he was. His scar was lightly throbbing so he was hanging on
to that strand of hope that he was closing in to the end of his
journey.
He ate the pieces of bat jerky he had picked up from
Dobby in the kitchen. He also got a good helping of water from a
nearby stream. Ten minutes had passed, and Harry's energy seemed to
have replenished. Traveling further he found a rocky slope, he needed
to rest, but his scar was searing harshly. He knew he had met his
destination. Harry searched the stone for some hint of an entrance.
Like in one of those low budget films, he found a hollow rock that
pressed inward. A narrow tunnel could be seen through the hole as
Harry tied the Thestral up and crawled inside.
"We'll
give you one more chance to hand over the Amulet." Lucius
Malfoy, and snape had you cornered. Tied you upside down,
but you
could still see the ghastly figure of a dementor approaching you. You
looked him right in the eyes, "Kiss my ass."
You spat in
Snape's eye as he wiped it away in disgust. "After what you did
to my father, I'll never make a deal with you demons again."
Malfoy laughed, "I hope you enjoy the emotional ripcord of a
corn husk then." The dementor was right on top of you, and you
felt all signs of happiness drain away instantly. You felt something
swerving out of your body, but was too weak to care.
But it stopped, and you feebly lifted your head to see Harry straddling Malfoy's back, the dementor had disappeared, and Snape seemed to be in a coma. Harry untied you holding you up, and you smiled weakly. "You always go through this much trouble for a date Potter?" He chuckled, "Only for the girls I think I'm in love with."
