Claire fell asleep as he carried her, when they got to the hospital wing Claire was almost grey. They put her on the nearest bed and Madame Pomfrey gave her some potion.
"This should help her." Madame Pomfrey said.
"We'll stay with her." George said.
"I'll go get Cedric; he'll want to see her." Hermione said.
"We'll look to George you stay with her." Ron said pulling Harry along.
"Right I'll stay with her…" George said to himself.
He sat down beside her and rested his chin on his clasped hands, he watched her sleeping. Her eyes moved a bit then she opened them and looked at him.
"George?"
"Hey how do you feel?" He asked patting her arm.
"Horrible… I have to break up with Cedric." Claire said her eyes tearing up.
George's stomach did a few back flips as he perked up, "Why?" he asked sounding a little too delighted.
"Draco made me…" Her mouth stopped moving, she couldn't get the words out.
"Do you want to write it out?" George said.
"I can't say it I don't know why." Claire said.
"He makes you take a vow didn't he?" George guessed.
Claire couldn't even nod; she sat there blankly staring at him.
"Yep he did, I can tell why did he make you take that vow…family right once again you couldn't respond gees that little git." George said.
"He's my boyfriend now." Claire told him.
"That GIT! He forced you into a relationship!" George shouted.
"What are you talking about George?" Cedric said coming into the room.
"Draco Malfoy…" George started.
"Cedric I have to talk to you it's important." Claire said standing up a force was controlling her words to something cruel.
"Claire you don't seem your self…" Cedric started.
"Shut up! I don't love you…I am Draco Malfoy's girlfriend." She couldn't control her words she fought not to say what she said but it came out forceful and unkind.
"I don't understand Claire, are you really okay?" He asked.
"I told you we're finished, for good I love Draco now not you." She struggled with her word fighting every one that came out, but she was losing and Cedric was hurt.
Claire turned her feet were taking her to where ever Draco was she knew it till.
"Miss. Black come with me for a second will you." Moody said taking her by the arm fighting with the charm on her and Moody's force she walked lopsidedly with Moody out the front doors of the castle.
"Where are we going I have to go…please I need to my feet…" Claire stuttered.
"I know very well where your feet are going Black but there is some where you must go for a while, not to worry we'll break the charm for you." Moody said.
They were walking out the castle gates now; Claire looked over her shoulder at the receding castle till…CRACK! She was on the ground in a dark grave yard. A wand tapped on her head and her whole body stopped jerking to walk away and she could speak freely now.
"I'll take that…" Said an unfamiliar voice.
Claire turned her head to see the young man who had preformed the Cruciatus curse on her, "Professor Moody! I knew it you've been using Poly Juice Potion, let me go!"
"Not a chance Black, I'm taking you to your master." He said.
"I don't have a master thank you very much!" Claire shouted trying to fight him off.
They were nearing a large mansion and Claire stared to struggle now not wanting to go to the place. The Man threw her in the door. Claire hit the floor she felt something cut the side of her face as she slid on rubble form the aging house.
"Wormtail get down here!" he yelled.
"What…oh Black's heir!" Wormtail said
"You!" Claire stood up her one eye blinded by blood, she charged at him.
"Protego!" Wormtail shouted and Claire was sent flying back into a wall.
She tried to stand but she had broken her few of her ribs.
"Look Barty she's hurt now." Wormtail snickered.
Claire was hurt badly but there was a voice from the upper level, "Bring her to me Wormtail now…"
She tried to back away as the two men grabbed a hold of her and dragged her up the stairs; it took a lot of effort to not cry out in pain.
"Please no don't make me go up there." Claire said.
She was thrown into a room facing the back of a large armchair, a large snake coiled around it.
"Claire Black you might wonder why you and I have such a strong connection?" said a voice from behind the chair.
"I don't know…tell me Voldemort!" Claire spat at him.
Wormtail hit her hard across the head and she fell to the ground.
"Within your soul is a piece of my soul, you have one seventh of my soul… yes you are a Horcrux, how you may ask simple you were born in the same year as Harry Potter therefore when he miraculously defeated me the first time I sent the last piece of my soul to the closest child to the Potter family that wasn't Harry." Voldemort said.
"Then why do you appear to me as your younger self?" Claire said.
"Because I knew you would cower away from what I am now…" Voldemort said. "Wormtail turn my chair I want to see face to face this girl who hold a piece of my soul."
Wormtail moved and turned the chair, Claire suppressed a scream as she stared at him, or it what ever Voldemort was now he could hardly classify as a human.
"Take a good look black when next you see me I'll be whole, and I'll be taking that bit of my soul back…" He said.
Claire felt the familiar feeling of light headedness and fell to the ground, she didn't know what was going on all she felt and saw was darkness…
