Road to...Love

Flashback (contd.)

"Here" said Hermione pointing at the dark cupboard.

"It's so cold here" Cho whispered feeling the strange chills.

Harry walked up to the black cupboard when he heard Hermione saying, "be careful Harry. It could be cursed"

Without looking at her Harry nodded his head.

"Malfoys used to live here?" Asked Dean looking at the grubby looking damp walls.
"I guess he lost his superiority" mocked George, when everyone released the chuckle.

Harry felt a wave of warmth, hearing his fellow mates chuckle. The fear of what could be behind it somehow moved down from it's threshold level.

As Harry held the handle, the door blast open pushing Harry and the other back.

Falling hard on his back, Harry could hear Ginny screaming his name, "Harry!!". He immediately turned around on his belly to take a look at his lady love.

Ginny was on the floor with a little scratch on her head. He looked around to the rest pulling their selves up with a slight wince or curse.

He looked for his best friends when he saw Ron's protective arms around Hermione. He very well knew why he was so uncomfortable with Hermione coming to Malfoy Manor.

Getting up he saw a long narrow passageway, no idea where it belonged, the other end was dark and gloomy.

"It looks so creepy" commented Parvati.

"Let's go" said Harry his heart thumping against his chest.

"Are you sure?" Asked Cho in her very timid voice.

"Do we have any other option left?" Ginny snapped. Frowning at her, Cho looked away.

"But why do we need to find the library or whatever there is in?" Asked Zacharias .

"Because we don't know what we are fighting against. It could be a great help" replied Hermione loudly.

"If you don't want to come, leave" said Ginny straight and Harry felt a tingling sensation in his stomach. His senses boosted up a bit.

"Is it safe to step in?" Asked Luna in her unchangeable dreamy voice, "This place is so dull even Nargles can't step in".

Hermione hit her head lightly against Ron's shoulder making him chuckle lightly.

"Well she is right in one way...."

"I am right in both the ways" interrupted Luna.

Ignoring her, Hermione continued "....is it safe to step in?"

"Homenum revelio" casted Harry non-verbally and a huge muscular guy appeared in light.

He was not any normal human being, but a giant. He was not as scary pus-filled as a giant troll neither was like a human. It was half way through Human.
