I'm waiting down by the fireplace sometime before midnight when I hear the slow creaking of a door. There's some hushed whispers and many footsteps. All the boys come into view in front of me eventually.
"We're here. Now what?" Fred asks.
"Follow me." I say as we quietly head towards the exit and down the hall to where Fluffy the three-headed-dog sleeps.
When we enter Fluffy's chamber, we all stop. The music is playing at least. Neville almost starts screaming but Fred places his hand to cover Neville's mouth. "Help me move his paw." I whisper. We all push it off the door. "Now, when we all jump in you have to be completely still and calm or we won't be able to pass. You got that?" I mainly look at Ron and Neville.
"Did it just get really quiet in here?" Harry states. The music stopped.
"Everybody in!" I shout as each and every one of us jumps down the hole, one by one. Luckily none of us bit it.
"What is this stuff?" George asks.
"Everybody be calm and still. We'll be released if we do so!" I say quickly noticing the moving vines. My cry was pretty much useless since Ron cannot sit still. Everybody landed on the ground, including Neville, but Ron refuses to go still.
"Somebody save him! If mum finds out, she'll kill us!" Fred and George run around in circles shouting.
"Ugh," I say, and then I shout the same spell Hermione did in the book. Ron comes tumbling down. "What did I tell you about being calm!"
"Sorry." He mumbles.
"We have to get going. Voldemort will be there." I whisper. At the same time I'm thinking back to the Mirror of Elised. Did Harry find it? Did Dumbledore move it? Someone has come down here because the music was playing. Pray it be Quirrell.
We continue walking until we come across a giant chessboard. I groan.
"What?" Ron asks. "We can just walk right through it." He continues to walk forward, but right when the pawns slice down with their swords I pull him back.
"No. We have to play." I answer quietly. To be honest, I'm rather scared of this board. I know Ron gets injured and I hope to not let that happen.
…
"Ughn…" Ron lay whimpering on the floor.
"Fred, George, Neville, make sure nothing happens to him. Harry and I will go ahead." I give Ron's hand a gentle squeeze, then grab Harry and drag him to where I think Voldemort waits.
Harry and I walk through a stone entrance and into a large room. Quirrell stands in the center with the Mirror of Elised in front of him. Harry starts to say something but I quickly silence him. Then we are knocked onto our backs and the world goes black.
…
Shackles.
"Harry!" I call. I think back to my dream early in the year.
"Katie? You have to get out of here!" He calls back
"Darling Katie isn't going anywhere. She's tied up." A cruel voice cackles.
"More like chained!" I shout into the darkness.
"Silence!" The voice shouts. "Let the show begin!"
A white light shines on me. I shudder and look down at my body. My clothes are torn and there's a long, deep cut across my stomach.
"No! Don't hurt her!" Harry shouts again.
"I'm sorry, but I need her to unlock you." Voldemort says cruelly.
"No!" Harry screams.
"Crucio!" Voldemort shouts.
HARRY'S PERSPECTIVE
"Crucio!" He shouted.
"NO! KATIE!" He releases her from the curse.
"Darling Katie, all you have to do is unlock our dear friend over here." He leans in close and whispers into her ear while forcing a pill into her hand. "See? That's not all that bad." Katie looks up at him with tears in her eyes.
"I-I can't." She whispers in defeat.
"Oh, that's not an answer." Voldemort says slyly. "To add to the fun, I put your friends in cages with my snakes. If you do what you're told, I'll release them." He waves his hand and the others all appear with a snake at their feet. Ron is passed out. Katie's eyes widen.
KATIE'S PERSPECTIVE
I slowly nodded my head. Voldemort released me from my bonds and I slowly walked over to Harry, not looking at him. Then, I shoved the pill into my mouth and lunged foreword.
HARRY'S PERSPECTIVE
Katie lunged at me after putting the pill into her mouth. The next thing I knew, she was moving her lips against mine. My hands are released from the chains holding me back and my hands instantly go to the girl's back, trailing circles on her spine. My eyes widened. She stuck her tongue in my mouth and then she swallowed something. The pill?
.
VOLDEMORT'S PERSPECTIVE
"Yes! Yes!" I say. I release Harry from his bonds to give him some last few seconds with the girl of his dreams. I have to admit, I liked the way she approached it. That was probably Potter's first kiss and most definitely his last.
If you ask why I used a pill, simple. I wanted to torture him by using the lovely Katie on him. Everybody knows he's had the biggest crush on her ever since he met her.
Then Katie fell.
HARRY'S PERSPECTIVE
"Katie!" I shout as she falls into my arms. I look up at the pale figure standing before me. "What did you do to her?"
"No! No! She couldn't have!" He says to himself. He's scared of something.
"What did you do to her!?" I repeat.
"The pill, she swallowed the pill!" He screeches.
"What was the pill?!"
"A killer!" I lunge at him.
…
Just minute's later Quirrell's body lies dead at my feet and the spirit of Voldemort is gone. The world goes blank.
…
I wake with a gasp. Hermione is sitting on the end of my bed and Ron, Neville and the twins are around me. They all have sorrow filled looks on their faces.
"Hey. Where's Katie? She was hurt last time I saw her." I say simply. Their heads fall. "What happened?"
Dumbledore walks up. "Harry. We need to talk."
Now I'm worried. "What? What happened to Katie?"
Ron breaks into tears. The twins hug each other. Hermione lets out a sniffle. Neville leaves the room.
"Harry." Fred whimpers. He starts sobbing into his twin's shirt.
"Harry, Katie is dead." Dumbledore says quietly. The others break into endless sobbing.
READERS! Sorry for the endless wait and for another one to come. I'm also sorry for what happened to Katie, but it was inevitable. Please review to let me know what you think.
