You
felt the cold, dankness of the room. Everything was black, the room
flooded with darkness. As you sat up, the pain in your head caused by
the blow to it in your capture, pounded, causing you to clamp your
hand against it, wincing in agony. Trying to get to your feet, you
look around for any light to guide you, when you find none, you
instinctively reach for your wand, which, as you expected, is gone.
You wonder whether you should call out to anyone who may be there, in
case they could help you.
"He-hello?"
You choke, your voice slightly groggy from not speaking for a while.
You swallow past the lump in your throat as you hear something rustle
a bit away from you. Your heart begins to pound.
"Who's
there?" You ask firmly, summoning every ounce of courage and
trying to sound threatening.
"It's
Garrick Ollivander, please do n-not hurt me" The shaky voice was
recognisable to you.
"Mr
Ollivander! Are you alright?" It broke your heart to hear him so
broken and fragile.
"Please!
You must get out! now! you must escape!" The panic in his voice
is so obvious that you recoil slightly, "Mr Ollivander, what's
going on?" Your voice is firm but you feel your hands start to
shake. Before he can answer the door is flung open and the light
slices the room in half. Wormtail stands at the door, looking in.
"You!" He points a crooked finger at you
"Come
with me" You hesitate for a moment
"Now!
He screams, impatiently and you dare not disobey him. Your legs shake
as you are led up a small set of stairs into a large, empty looking
room.
Your
stomach drops as you see Bellatrix Lestrange standing in front of
you, an evil smile pulled across her pale face. You are so paralysed
by fear that you can't even think of escaping now. She lunges at you,
knocking you to the floor, lowering herself so that her wand is
pressed to your neck, her breath on your face.
"I'm
only going to ask you this once, mud blood" She eyed you with
her insane eyes "Where is Harry Potter? I know he has run, and I
know you muggle loving cousin is with him! So where is he?" you
can hardly breathe at all now " I don't know where they are"
You try, but this only angers her. The pain that follows is unreal,
you writhe and flail in agony as she watches, a sinisterly amused
smile painting her face.
"Please!
You scream out breathlessly "I don't know anything!" The
tears are falling fast now" You hear a bang and you both turn as
the door is flung open.
"Get
the hell away from her!" Bellatrix just laughs wildly at this as
she looks Neville up and down. He holds is wand, ready.
"Neville
longbottom" She swaggers forward "Really?" She teases.
He stands his ground, staring totally unafraid into her deep dark
eyes.
"Let's
skip all the drama shall we and just get you to the same stage as
your dear mummy and daddy?" He flung his wand forward furiously
and she fell to the floor, beginning to writhe in pain as you had
been doing.
"You
stupid boy!" she screamed, a red mist descending over her. She
went to get up but he flicked his wand again not giving her a chance
"Stupify" He yelled before running over and picking you up
in a bridal lift. He didn't have time to stop. He ran with you in his
arms until you were both far enough away. He layed you down in the
grass. He went to speak but after what had just happened, you
couldn't wait. You moved forward and planted your lips on his. He
smiled shyly in shock. "I love you" He blushed as he said
this, looking down.
"I
love you too" He obviously wasn't expecting you to feel the same
and his eyes widened happily. He held your hand tightly and you both
apparated back to Hogsmeade, finding the secret passage back to the
room of requirements where everyone is waiting for you, cheering at
both of you as you enter the room, still holding hands.
