Chapter 8: This Is Bad

Albus P.O.V.

My dad nodded and we searched the house and found nothing strange until we went into the cellar. We found a secret room in the floor of the cellar, we were shocked to find what was inside…

As we stepped foot into the little room in the floor of the cellar, I was horrified; it was one of the scariest things I had ever seen in my life, and, being an auror, you see lots of creepy, scary stuff.

What we found was so frightening in fact that my dad and I gave out scared breaths. What we saw was first of all, newspaper clippings, clippings from the Daily Prophet and even some muggle newspapers. The clippings were all about, or related to, Lytle Rosserin; that wasn't the scariest part though, there was a web, and no, not a spider's web, it was web full of pictures and places with strings attaching almost everything to each other. On closer inspection I saw pictures of almost all the Weasleys and even my family, the Potter family. There was a picture of my Uncle Fred, it had an X over it and notes underneath that said, "Already Deceased." I found a picture, also, of Rose and Scorpius with a circle around Rose. Next to their picture was a piece of paper with some scribbled notes that said, "Unborn Child, boy." The paper had a slash drawn through it.

There was a family picture of the Weasleys and Potters and it had a circle that was drawn over about ten times, stressing the importance of it. I backed away slowly and noticed a stack of five thick notebooks in the corner and a trash can filled to the brim with crumbled up papers. All I could think was, 'We're in trouble.'

My father sensed the same thing as me and said, or more like whispered, "Game plan? Because we really need to get the heck out of here safely."

But before I could speak, Barry peeked his head above the hole and smiled a creepy smile, the creepiest smile I'd ever seen in my whole entire life, and said, "Oh, I'm sorry you had to find that, don't get upset, but you're both going to have an extended visit." With that I lunged forward and up towards the hole, but it was a fruitless effort because he slammed the door down and I heard a lock click. Then me and my dad were swallowed by total darkness.

I reached and felt around until a string dangling from a light bulb hit me in the face, I pulled the string and the room was at least a little bit lighted. I pulled out my wand and muttered a spell to push the door off its hinges, but it wouldn't work, my dad tried too and after a while of trying he said, "They have a spell on the room so we can't do magic!"

"What do we do?" I was scared, I had never been in a situation like this.

"Well, I think we are more valuable to them alive than dead, so we will probably be kept alive; but, we wait until the other aurors come and find us, in the meantime, research!" My dad said, he was keeping quite calm.

"What do you mean!." I yelled, "We just sit here and wait to die! Or worse! We need to find a way out of here-"

"Whisper, Albus, whisper." My dad held a finger to his lips and took a step to better look at the web of strings and other stuff.

I understood what he was saying, there was obviously things that we could learn and I walked over to the stack of notebooks in the corner, picked one up, slid to the ground, and started reading.

My dad kept looking at the web and said, "Albus, the Minister of Magic, Kingsley Shacklebolt is on here!."

"Do you think their master plan is to get to him?"

"No, but the circle around him is pretty thick; other than Scorpius and Rose and Porter, there aren't any Malfoys. In the center of the web is the family photo of the Weasley-Potter family, us and our family, including spouses and children. It's odd though, there is a picture that isn't attached to the web, but it is circled about as thickly as our family's photo." My dad told me quietly and with a puzzled look on his face.

"Whose the picture of?" I wondered.

"It seems to be a picture of Horace Slughorn!" My dad said.

"But, he's like, super old and stuff; I'm surprised he still teaches at Hogwarts!"

"My thoughts exactly, that' s all I have for now; now, there will be time to read the notebooks, the things in the trash will probably be more valuable to our search!" My father mused, then he went back to looking at that darned web.!

I really hope you enjoyed this chapter! It just picks up suspense and craziness from here, i'm think 20ish chapters? Anyway, yeah!

Please review! I love them so much, an air hug to anyone who reviews!
