Chapter 7: Reflection and Disappearance

A/N: Here's chapter 7! I own nothing! Enjoy~

Max's POV:

Whatever nice cards Fate decided to give us were quickly drawn back. Not only were Fang, Nudge, Iggy and I separated, but classwork kept us from seeing each other. Then, one day, Fang disappeared about a week into school.

He just didn't show up. We get to Transfiguration, and none of the 5th year Slytherins are in the room. They didn't come. Finally, McGonagall summoned Professor Snape to see what was going on. Whatever he discovered in their dorm was not good.

Rumor has it that there were three boys unconscious on the floor, looking as though they had been battling. With what, no one knows. They have no memories of that night. They were up in the infirmary for about a week. It took three people to restrain me from beating Albus to a pulp.

I've been on edge since then. No one knows where Fang went, who took him—if anyone—and why they wanted him. I've been keeping a closer eye out on the Flock when possible and Harry and Ginny have been constantly in contact with their kids.

Angel and Gazzy are gone too. They disappeared last night sometime. There was this huge Ward fluctuation in the entire neighborhood—apparently it happens occasionally—and Angel and Gazzy just disappeared right in front of Harry and Ginny. Gone. My babies. Fang. I can't stop it. I don't know what's happening. Why us?

Fang's POV

I know that my eyes are searching for anything to focus on I can feel them moving. But it's too dark here. I wouldn't be able to see my hand inches from my face.

But I'm stuck. They all say there's no escape. And, even if you do get out, you're ruined. Insane. Lost. Consumed by your darkest memories. I curl myself into a tighter ball and try to remember something happy. Not that I had many happy memories to begin with.

I only remember her hair. I can't see a face anymore. Golden in the sunlight, windswept, streaked brown with mud and dirt, it's a shame I can't remember any more. I'm sure she's beautiful.

But I'm consumed by pain again. Bright lights and long halls flash in the back of my mind. Screams fill my ears. Ghostly, terrified screeches that don't exist outside of my deteriorating mind.

I lift my head, searching. For what, I'm not sure. I've given up on all hope.

Apparently I'm dangerous. Infused with Dark Magic by some crazy wizard who moved to America and experimented with magic, animals, and humans. We're the result. How Ironic.

They said the rest are safe. They're "Light Magic" so they can stay free. They said something else, but I can't remember anymore.

How many days has it been? What did we do before this? Who is that girl I keep seeing? I hear more screams. I can't tell reality from my imagination anymore.

At least the others are safe. Whoever they are, wherever they are.

Gazzy's POV

There was a loud popping noise and suddenly, we weren't in the Potter's sitting room anymore. A long, dark hall stretched as far as we could see in front of us and behind us. More hallways branched off the sides, seemingly winding further into this maze.

Angel whimpers. This probably reminds her of the School. Max must be really worried, especially since Fang's gone. Only this time, she doesn't know where to find us. Will we ever get out?

Nudge's POV

I hear screams from the girls in my room. Lights fly in all directions, hexes I can't identify. But I can't move. My arms feel like lead, no matter how hard I try to move them, they stay stuck to my sides. Only my eyes can move, but I can hardly see anything besides the lights.

"Stupefy" says a voice, and my world goes dark.

Draco: Are they gonna be OK?
Me: Awww, Draco are you worried for the Bird-kids?
Draco: Wha-I'm not worried! I'm just slightly concerned!
Me: Suuuure. Whatever you say. Review! I know you can see that box. Type in it. Let me know what you think! Or don't. Say something to Draco. Just type in the box. Do it. You know you want to.
Draco: IMPERIO!
