Yes, I know, big shocker that I am now updating this story again.
It's just, I am getting more and more ideas on what to write for this story, once again!
So far, this story is by far, my BEST success in writing! After that, would be "Baby Bella" and "High School Never Ends".
I'm just so happy that I have such a great story here, and that I have a lot of reviewers!
Anyway, I just hate it that the story is almost coming to a close. I still need to do… hmm, at least one or two more scenes, before the gigantic battle scene.
Now, let's begin…
Chapter 24
Third Person POV
Meanwhile, after the Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs had separated, the Ravenclaws were now walking through the many offices of the Ministry. "What are we doing in here, Alice?" Luna asked her from the back of the hallway. Luna, Emrbry and Alice were walking through the halls, as the others were in groups of three like this.
"We're trying to find if there are any vampires hiding anywhere." Alice answered her, kicking doors open before walking away after seeing they were clear. Luna nodded to herself, but stopped abruptly, because she sensed something wasn't right in the air. Alice had stopped as well, along with Embry.
Luna turned towards them, and saw that Alice had a blank look on her face. Luna rushed over to her, and Alice snapped out of her daze.
"Edward and Bella are in a dungeon. The others that went with them are now looking for the Prophecy." Alice told them. Embry nodded, before running away to warn the others.
"I also saw that someone else was there. Someone we know…" Alice trailed off, and Luna nodded. They ran after Embry, and met up with other Ravenclaws. "We need to re-group. Someone, go warn the Hufflepuffs and the Gryffindors." Jasper instructed them once Alice and Luna had met up with him.
Two fourth years volunteered, and a vampire and wolf each went with them. The other Ravenclaws continued running down the halls and back towards to the entrance. They were the first ones there, and decided to wait as patiently as possible for the others to return.

The Hufflepuffs had all stuck together this time, keeping trust in each other, as they followed Emmett, Rosalie and Cedric through the halls.
"What are we suppose to be doing?" Isaac asked from behind Cedric. "Checking if there are any vampires here." Rosalie muttered, and Cedric rolled his eyes at her.
Suddenly, they heard footsteps behind them. They all whirled around, and raised their wands, until the person shouted, "Wait! It's only us!"
Cedric, Emmett and Rosalie pushed their way through backwards, and saw it was only Hayley and Bailey, with Carmen and Jared following behind them. "What is it, you guys?" Emmett asked them, and they skidded to a halt, as Hayley and Bailey tried to catch their breath.
"Alice and Jasper told us we needed to regroup." Hayley started, saying between breaths. "She had a vision, something happened to Edward and Bella." Bailey continued for her. "They are now in the dungeon, and now, we need to regroup." Hayley added. Emmett and Rosalie nodded, before turning to the others. "Alright, Hufflepuffs! Follow us!" Emmett yelled, and soon, the Hufflepuffs were following after Hayley, Bailey, Carmen and Jared. Cedric stayed behind to make sure everyone was following them, before he was running after them.
"Cedric…" Cedric stopped dead in his tracks, and whirled around. But, when he turned around, no one else was in the room except for him. Cedric knew he knew that voice, but he couldn't remember from who…
"Ced, let's go!" one of his friends called from up ahead, and Cedric snapped out from his thoughts. He turned around again, then ran after the other Hufflepuffs, catching up with his friends.
"What was with you, mate?" one of Cedric's friends asked him, once he was running along side with him. Cedric wondered if he should tell him, but decided against it.
"Uh, nothing." He muttered, and ran to catch up with Emmett and Rosalie. The Hufflepuffs were soon at the entrance, where the Ravenclaws were waiting for them. But, once they entered, Cedric sensed something was wrong in the air.
He looked around the entrance room, but couldn't find any eyes staring down at them.

The Gryffindors were searching the areas that Harry and Edward had told them to look in. They couldn't find anything unsuspecting, but otherwise, prepared themselves by holding their wands close to them.
Suddenly, they heard footsteps slapping against the ground, and whirled around, but sighed in relief to see it was only Kaleb and Adelle, running to meet them. "Come on, you guys! We need to re-group!" Kaleb shouted at them. Harry, Fred, George, Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Nessie and Jake were running behind them. "Harry, what's wrong?" Neville asked him as they ran to the entrance.
"Edward and Bella were sucked in the dungeon. We got the Prophecy, but now, we need to re-group." Harry told him. Neville nodded shakily, and soon, the Gryffindors were in the entrance hall with the Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws.
"Alright, now that we're all together," Alice started, looking around at everyone. "We need to come up with a new plan." Jasper finished for her. "We got the Prophecy." George said, and Harry held it out to prove it.
Suddenly, the doors of the building burst opened, and everyone whirled on their feet to see it was only Dr. Cullen, Professor Cullen, Professor Swan and Hagrid. They hurried over to them, and asked what was going on. Alice explained it to them quickly, and when she was done, Carlisle was comforting Esme, as Charlie was shaking his head, and Hagrid looked angry.
"So, these ruddy 'ampires think they can take those two?" Hagrid asked himself angrily, and he exhaled. "Don't worry, we got a new plan to figure out." Luna said, and now, everyone began plotting.

Meanwhile, as the group upstairs was planning, deep down in the dungeons was where Edward and Bella were cuddled up against each other.
Water dripped noisily down from old pipes, and bones and skulls littered the floor around them. Rats scampered around the floor, making squeaking noises, but were always frightened away whenever Bella cried out in worry and frustration.
"Ugh, we'll never be able to get out!" she cried again, slamming her head softly against the stone wall again. "Bella, love, of course we'll be able to get out." Edward told her quietly. "No, we aren't going to get out because of the booby-trapped door!" Bella cried out.
When they first arrived down in the dungeon cell, they had tried to break open the door, but there was a trigger outside; if they tried busting it open, a match would be lit and set afire to the pool of gasoline at the door, causing fire to erupt.
So, now they were trapped down in the cell, with no possible way out. "Look, we'll find a way out of here, love. I can promise you that." Edward reassured her. But, Bella wasn't going to listen.
She continued complaining and saying that there wasn't any other way out, so Edward did the only normal thing and shut her up. He crushed his lips to hers during her rant, and she immediately kissed him back.
The couple began making out, easily forgetting about their problems. But, Bella knew she and Edward couldn't be doing this right now. She pulled away from him, and Edward trailed his nose down her throat. Bella moaned, but otherwise whacked Edward on the head.
"Ow!" he yelled, and lifted his head, rubbing it while fake glaring at his wife. Bella only giggled as Edward asked, "Love, what was that for?"
"Edward, there is no time for that right now." She scolded him, and he pouted. Edward sighed, and stood up, walking over to the door. "Edward!" Bella hissed, and he whirled around. "What?" he asked and Bella heaved herself off the floor.
"You know there's gasoline out there! Are you trying to commit suicide?" Bella hissed again, and Edward chuckled. "No, love. I'll try to figure a way to stop it from lighting." He murmured to her. And, before Bella could argue back, he walked to the door, and kicked it open.
Just as they suspected, a lit match was waiting to be dropped, and the gasoline on the floor was lit. Edward jumped back, and Bella held him back this time, as the flames surrounded the exit.
"Aguamenti!" a female voice shouted from somewhere off to the side. Immediately, a jet stream of water had shot out, and doused the flames, leaving only a small puddle of water in its place. Footsteps sound from outside the door, and a small figure appeared in the doorway.
"Who are you?" Edward called out, and the figure in the doorway raised its wand, saying, "Lumos." And the caster's face lit in the dark.
"You…" Bella and Edward trailed off, seething as they saw the caster in the light.
BUM BUM BUM! OH NO! A CLIFFY!
Can anyone guess who the mysterious caster is, who saved Edward and Bella?
(By the way: Bella and Edward were taken to the dungeon by magic, just for those who don't know.)
…
Okay, so I lied in the last chapter, saying if you read my other story and reviewed it, you'd get a better chapter.
Well, the thing is, no one is actually reading it. Eh, plus, I really want this story to be finished. So, I guess the chapters won't be great.
Still, I hope that doesn't displease any of you readers too badly.
PLEASE REVIEW, AND KEEP VOTING ON MY POLL! (It's still on there…)
Bye for now!
