Chapter 14: The Robber

Harry: *waking up* Huh? What the…? What happened? *sees they're surrounded by trees* Where are we? And… *sees Ron lying on top of him* Why is Ron…actually, I already know the answer to that one.

Hermione: *urgently* Harry, my bag.

Harry: Why? What's happening? *sees Ron is covered in blood* Okay, seriously, what the fuck just happened?

Hermione: *showing him a chunk of Ron's arm is missing* He's been splinched, and is currently bleeding out.

Harry: HALLE-FUCKING-LUJAH!

Hermione: HARRY! There's some dittany in my bag to stop the bleeding.

Harry: But why? All my problems are about to be solved.

Hermione: HARRY! Do you really want to let him die?

Harry: Hmm…yeah, I guess he could still be a useful human shield later on *opens Hermione's bag* Accio dittany *dittany flies out of the bag*

Hermione: Could you do it for me? My hands are too shaky.

Harry: But you're the one who wants to save him.

Hermione: Harry…

Harry: Ugh, fine *opens bottle and pours dittany on the wound, which starts healing* There, it's… *notices something* Hey, your hands aren't shaking.

Hermione: Yeah, I know. I just wanted to be able to tell Ron you're the one who saved him when he wakes up.

Harry: WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?!

Hermione: I thought if I played a prank on you, you'd be in a better mood before I tell you this next bit of information.

Harry: I assume this is about where we are, and why?

Hermione: Yeah…so, Yaxley grabbed my arm just as we apparated out of the Ministry, and didn't let go until he was on the top step of the house, so…

Harry: Wait, so they can get in now?

Hermione: …yeah…

Harry: Well…that sucks…so where are we?

Hermione: Don't you recognise the place?

Harry: No, why would I?

Hermione: It's the place where the Quidditch World Cup was held. How do you not recognise the place?

Harry: Maybe because there's no longer a camp full of witches and wizards around. Or the stadium, for that matter.

Hermione: Still, I wonder how they knew we were at the Ministry?

Harry: Are you kidding? We led about 30 people through the Ministry who were supposed to be soul sucked. Also, I stole this from Umbridge's door *holds up Moody's eye*

Hermione: How did she get that?

Harry: Probably from Vold…

Ron: *waking up* Hi guys.

Hermione: RON! You survived.

Harry: Damn it, he survived.

Ron: Of course I survived Harry, I couldn't leave you alone in this world.

Harry: I'd have had Hermione.

Ron: But without me, what good is that?

Harry: A lot more than you.

Hermione: Well, anyway, if we're staying put, we should put up the tent. I'll set up some protective charms.

Ron: We have a tent?

Hermione: Yeah, in the bag.

Harry: And how do you explain holding everything in a bag this size?

Hermione: The top of the bag is obviously the opening of a pocket dimension. Duh.

Harry: You're running out of excuses for why magic's fake, aren't you?

Hermione: Just put the fucking tent up.

Harry: Yeah, fine. Then we can get some food.

Hermione: About that…

Harry: We have no food, do we?

Hermione: To be fair, I thought we'd be able to go back to the house.

Harry: Great…

Hermione: It's okay. We're in a forest. I'm sure there's something edible growing around here.

*later*

Hermione: Well, it's not much, but… *holds out a handful of mushrooms*

Harry: So, are those edible, deadly, or hallucinogenic?

Hermione: Honestly? They could be any combination of those. They're non-magical ones, so I don't have a book about them.

Ron: Here, I'll find out *eats the whole lot in one go*

Hermione: Ron, we were supposed to share those.

Harry: With that said, are you feeling any deader yet?

Ron: Not yet, Harry with three heads.

Harry: Hallucinogenic it is then. So Hermione, you have the horcrux then?

Hermione: Right here *pulls out the horcrux*

Ron: You got the horcrux, Hermione with tentacle arms?

Harry: Okay, after everything we went through to get it, I'm making sure this thing stays safe *puts on the locket*

Hermione: Are you sure that's a good idea?

Harry: Not in the slightest. Now, I'm going to keep watch, since we don't know when or if the Death Eaters are going to show up.

Ron: Maybe they only show up when it's inconvenient?

Harry: That would mean they're permanently around *heads outside* Okay, now to have my own hallucinations *goes into Voldemort's head*

Voldemort: So, Gregorovitch, you know why I'm here, right?

Gregorovitch: Nein, nein, nein.

Voldemort: Nine-nine-nine? Is that a safe combination? Doesn't seem very secure if it is.

Gregorovitch: Nein, du verdammter Idiot, das heißt, ich habe keine Ahnung, warum du hier bist. Oder wer du bist.

Voldemort: Why do you people insist on speaking gibberish to me, knowing damn well I won't understand a word of it?

Gregorovitch: Es ist nicht meine Schuld, wenn du einen einfachen Übersetzungszauber nicht ausführen kannst.

Voldemort: Alright, I'm sick of this. Tell me where it is, and I'll let you live.

Gregorovitch: Wo was ist? Ich weiß immer noch nicht, wer du bist oder was du willst, du verdammter Idiot.

Voldemort: Don't try to hide anything from Lord Voldemort, I will *phone goes off* Ugh, sorry, just ignore that.

Gregorovitch: Voldemort? Bist du einem Baby nicht wie eine Schlampe zum Opfer gefallen?

Voldemort: Ah, so you have… *phone goes off again* I really need to do something about that. Anyway, reading your mind now.

Gregorovitch: Was bist du...AHHHH! *flashes back into Gregorovitch's mind*

*the past*

?: HAHA! I got it.

Gregorovitch: *bursting into the room* Wer zum Teufel bist du? HEY! Hände weg davon.

?: Oops, gotta go. STUPEFY! *blasts Gregorovitch with a spell*

*back in the present*

Voldemort: So, who was that?

Gregorovitch: Woher zum Teufel soll ich das wissen?

Voldemort: Clearly this conversation's going nowhere. AVADA KEDAVRA!

Gregorovitch: Geh und fick dich selbst *gets blasted by the spell*

*back in Harry's body*

Hermione: Harry, what did you just see?

Harry: Well, Gregorovitch is dead.

Ron: Was it You-Know-Who?

Harry: Yeah, Gregorovitch used to have something that he wanted, but it got stolen by some blonde-haired guy who looked vaguely familiar. So now he's dead.

Hermione: I thought he wanted a wand that could kill you?

Harry: Hermione, the guy literally cut his soul up to make himself immortal. Do you really think he's capable of rational thought?

Hermione: …maybe he…yeah, I got nothing.

Ron: Speaking of having nothing on…

Harry: Swing and a miss, Ron.

Author's note: Hi guys, sorry these chapters are taking a long time to come out. Chapters of my current Total Drama fic take a lot of time and effort to make good (or at least, good enough for my standards), which pushes back when I can write chapters of this. Don't worry, I am committed to finishing this series that I've spent…holy crap, nearly 9 years on. Anyway, thanks for sticking around, and feel free to vote on the poll on my profile to determine what other fics I should work on when I finally finish one or the other of my current works. See you soon.
