Chapter- 19

Miles and miles away, Kyara and Maddie were flying alongside Harry and Ron. Hermione was not keen on flying so disaparation was her method of transportation. Maddie had told no one of her plan. It's going to work, Maddie thought confidently. The only problem is we need more people.

"Harry who else do you know willing to help us?" screamed Maddie over the ferocious wind that made flying extremely hard tonight.

"Yes!" bellowed Harry.

"Who and how fast can they be here?"

"Remus Lupin and Sirius Black, but I'm not sure when they could get here!"

Even through the storm, Harry could see tears starting to trickle down Maddie' s face.

"What?" Harry asked nervously.

"R-Remus Lupin and S-Sirius Black?" Maddie yelled back stuttering.

"Yeah," Harry said hesitantly.

"Remus Lupin and Sirius Black."

Maddie kept repeating those words over and over again.

"WHAT!" Harry yelled.

"Remus Lupin was my father."

"WHAT? Was, he didn't die recently did he?" Harry asked.

"I don't know you tell me, he disappeared when I was only a baby. Sirius Black was one of his best friends, his picture along with your father Harry are all around my house. I never told you because I…well…I don't know why but I just didn't."

"You've got to be kidding! Sirius never mentioned you to me, ever!"

"Odd. When are they going to get here?"

"Sorry, but I don't know."

Back in the Shrieking Shack, Lisa had ropes tied on her hands and ankles with her mouth gagged. On top of all that, she was shaking from head to toe.

"As soon as I heard a muggle could perform spells I had to talk to her. I had to learn her secret. Do you even own a wand?" asked a cold, high pitched voice which was obviously Voldemort' s.

"No, and how do you know I'm a muggle? What if I really am a witch?" I said, surprising myself with me stable voice.

Voldemort laugh again, "Well we'll just have to see about that."

His voice was so menacing I started shaking even more intensely.

Oh, where are you Kyara and Maddie?

"Even if your little friends do show up, they'll never make it twenty feet from where the land. I've got my followers guarding ever inch of this fortress."

It's like he read my mind.

"In order to establish if you are a witch or not I'll be performing a few simple tests. Let's try the Imperius Curse and oh of course the Crucias Curse. If I'm in a really good mood, the Killing Curse."

Tears started to form in my eyes though I knew it would show Voldemort weakness but I couldn't help it.

Once again cold, evil laughing awaited my weakness.

"Are we almost there?" Kyara asked.

This being her first time on a broomstick, she was getting a little nervous though she didn't want to admit it.

"In a few minutes." Ron replied.

Maddie had been silence since her discovery that her father was out there someone along with his best friend. What will my step-mother say? Maddie' s mother had died only shortly after her father disappeared. Luckily, her mothers best friend loved Maddie like a daughter anyways so she thought it right to become her half-legal mother. Where did my dad go anyways? What happened so bad that he couldn't come back to me and mother? Well now he'll never know my mom, Maddie thought angrily. Those thoughts were soon erased since Maddie saw a tall house on the ground below them.

"We've made it!" Maddie shrieked.

"Now Maddie we really need to know you plan. We can tell the others when they get there." Harry said.

"Okay." Maddie replied.

Everyone leaned in to her if Maddie' s plan would possibly work.

Now, Lisa was in a more comfortable position but still shaking incredibly. Somehow she was holding a wand and in a position to duel the most powerful wizard known to wizard-kind, save Albus Dumbledore. What am I going to do? Oh, please hurry girls!

"Stand tall, face your death with some dignity."

To Lisa the only thing left to do was exactly that but also fight, fight for her life and hope to win.
