The next thing that Harry knew, he had woken up, but was unable to see a thing. Am I blind? Thought Harry. Or am I in a dark room? Harry tried to move but couldn't; he was either immobilized or tied up. Harry didn't know what to think. What happened? Am I dead? I definitely heard Malfoy yelling "Avada Kedevra". Am I the one the curse it? Is my lifeless body just in the corridors laying there while everyone wept around it? I doubt it. If I was dead, I wouldn't be feeling that pain I'm feeling now as a result of the torture they put me through. And thinking of that made Harry start thinking of his friends. What happened to Hermione and Luna? What happened to Ginny and Ron? What happened to the brave Neville Longbottom who killed Pansy Parkinson right when she was about to kill Luna? What happened to everybody?

As Harry sat there, (or stood… he had no idea what position he was in) he started wondering about everything that had happened to him. Slytherins started attacking Gryffindor for no reason. Why? Why would they want to do that? Yes, everyone knew that Slytherins loathed the Gryffindors, but why would they want to kill them? Are they doing it under their own free will, or is someone telling them to do it so they oblige to it? Why didn't Harry listen to Hermione and just go to Dumbledore? Dumbledore would probably have been able to stop it. Why was Harry so stupid to think that this would bother Dumbledore? If Harry would have gone to him, then all the Slytherins would be locked away, and Harry wouldn't be stranded in a dark place, not knowing where he is, and thinking that in his conscience, one of his friends was dead and that it was all his fault…

As all of this ran through Harry's mind, the only thing that kept repeating itself was, Where am I? Where's Hermione? Where's Ron? Where's Ginny? Where's Neville? And where's Luna? Where's anybody? Are they okay? What's happened to them, what's happened to me? What's happened to everybody?!

Harry had no idea where he was. Then, out of nowhere, he heard something. He didn't know what it was but then he realized it was a person's voice. As time went by, the voice started getting closer. There was a moment when the voice was so close that Harry could actually hear what it was saying.

"We really got them good this time, huh Draco?" said the voice. Then another voice spoke and Harry recognized it immediately; Draco Malfoy.

"Yes," said the happy yet unsatisfied voice of Draco Malfoy. "But we can't underestimate Potter, Nott. Potter has gotten himself out of tough situations before and he could do it again.

"That's true," said the voice of, who Harry assumed was, Nott. "But still, if he does escape, he won't get far. You know his weakness for heroics. We have his friends tied up and locked up. You know he will try and rescue them. But wait when he finds out about the one you killed, Draco. He is gonna go nuts!"

"Quiet Nott!" yelled Draco. "You want people to hear you? People could be listening through the walls. C'mon let's get out of here."

And with that, they both left the vicinity and Harry could hear their voices no more. So someone was dead, Thought Harry as his stomach was at a clench. But who? Was it Ron? Of course Draco would want to kill him; he's a "blood traitor". Same with Ginny. But what about Hermione? She's muggle-born. Of course Draco would love to see her dead; he said so 2nd year. "It's been 50 years since the Chamber of Secrets was opened. My father wouldn't tell me who opened it, only that they were expelled. The last time the Chamber was opened, a mud-blood died. So it's only a matter of time before one of them is killed this time… I hope its Granger."

And then there's Neville! Thought Harry. Neville killed Pansy. Malfoy will want revenge; plus his family was big anti-voldemort. He could very well be dead right now. And then of course there's Luna. She really hasn't done anything, except fight against the Slytherins.

So who could it be? Thought Harry in wonder. As Harry thought that, he saw something on the crack of the door. Door? Wait, if I can see a door, then there must be… Light!
