Forbidden Spells

Hidden Lies

Well Well... what have we got here?

Bellatrix walks over to me slowly, I could feel a rise of fear in my body. I had heard stories about her and what she had done to people, she was truly psychotic. I look towards the broken gate where 6 death eaters were stood, the dark lord was not here. Not yet anyway.

I was stood behind Severus, I knew being behind him was a risk. I didn't want him to get hurt. I feel his body tense up as Bellatrix draws her wand and points it at me.

"We only want the girl Severus. You have done your job well enough now" she says, grinning.

"What does she mean- your job" I say, my voice breaking.

Severus stays silent. There was no way... there was no way this was all just part of a plan to kill me or something. Why would he even want that? I step away from him and I could feel my body shaking. It wasn't anger nor sadness, it was much worse than that.

Bellatrix began to laugh. "You didn't actually think he cared for you. Did you?"

I look at Severus, to my astonishment he is already looking back at me. I actually though I meant something to him, I know we have had our differences but now I understand why. I trusted him, worse... I let myself have feelings for him.

"Girlie, hate to be the one to break it to you but your Professor here is a death eater. He serves the dark lord, you were only naive enough to let your little school girl crush go a bit too far" she says, smirking. You could tell she enjoyed doing this, it was a form of torture.

"So what then? Are you gonna kill me?" I ask, my voice trembling.

"All in good time, sweetie" she says, winking at me. What an absolute nutter, god what I would give to slap her in the face.

As much as I hated this woman there was someone else I currently hated more in this room. I was still shocked at what he had done.

"Was any of it real" I ask, turning to Severus.

"I did what I had to do" he replies, looking up at me.

"What so you save me TWICE, let me stay in your chambers and allow me to fall for you. Only for me to learn this was all part of some sick plan to kill me? You know what, you are a foul git and I hate you, SIR" I say, spitting the words at him. At this point there was nothing more to say, he used me and I let him so I am just as stupid.

He doesn't say anything. He only walks over to the death eaters and joins them.

I could feel my eyes begin to burn, I had been holding my tears in for a while now but no way in hell was I going to let them see me cry. In fact I was so mentally torn I draw my wand out and aim it at Bellatrix.

"Ah so you want to play, itty bitty bitch" she says, walking around me in a circle.

"If I am going to die It would be great to know I was bringing you with me" I grin. I despised this woman and If I was going to die today I would go out fighting.

"Bella. Wait for the Dark Lord" Snape murmurs.

"YOU CAN SHUT THE FUCK UP AND ALL" I shout across the room at him, I was beyond angry and this time there was nobody to help me control it.

dani... if you can hear me. stop.

What was that? It was a voice but I heard it as a silent whisper in my head. There was no sign of who it came from just those very words.

As I turn around a flash of white sends me flying across the room and I hit a stone pillar.

I hear laughs come from the death eaters, I look up and see Bellatrix jumping up and dow and clapping. I pick myself up from the floor, my head began to bleed but without thinking I swing my wand at her.

"STUPEFY" I shout at the top of my lungs. The spell sends her spinning across the room, I could feel a smirk come up on my face.

"You filthy HALF BLOOD" she screams, yet again aiming her wand at me.

"ENOUGH"

Bellatrix jumps and I turn my head to look at where the voice came from. It was the Dark Lord. The whole room fell silent as he slowly walked towards me, I could feel my heart begin to beat faster.

"SO you are the one we have spent so long looking for" he whispers, circling me.

"Why were you looking for me? I have done nothing wrong. I have never caused any harm to any of your people" I say.

"Firstly we know that is a lie" he says, hissing.

"What-" I say, stuttering.

"Alice Mitchell was one of us, she served me well and you killed her so we have that to deal with" he says.

"I never touched her, yes I fired a NON LETHAL spell at her but it wasn't me it wa-"

say no more. Just trust me. Say nothing or else he is going to kill you

It was that voice again, I wondered if I should even trust it. I knew whoever it was; was someone in this room.

"There is a prophecy. That one day a student would enrol at Hogwarts and they would be sorted into all 4 of the houses, they would hold a power beyond belief. That student is you. For that reason alone I have to kill you as the one who slays the Impossible Student gets all the power" The Dark Lord says in an evil tone.

I say nothing, like the voice had told me. I understood now why people feared me so much but I felt no stronger than usual so this power beyond belief must just be a mistake.

"Well, as much as I would like to stay and chat. I have power to obtain and you have a due date with the afterlife" the Dark Lord says, glaring at me. He draws his wand and points it at me.

I turn my head to look at Snape for the last time, I knew he had caused this but something told me to look at him. He was gone. I could feel tears streaming down my face, even if this was all his fault... I still wanted him.

I close my eyes as I get pushed to my knees by Bellatrix. This was it, nothing I could do to fight and there was nobody left to help. Maybe dying wasn't the worst option anymore, I let out a sigh.

AVADA KEDAV-

EXPELLIARMUS

I look up to see Professor Dumbledore and most of the teaching staff, all except Snape. The death eaters all apparate, probably out of fear of facing Dumbledore. The Dark Lord looks at me and apparates along with Bellatrix.

"Up you get dear, come on" McGonagall says, pushing me to stand up.

"Minerva, escort Miss Shirley to her chambers at once please" Dumbledore says.

I follow McGonagall as she lights up the hallway with her wand, I didn't think it would safe going back to my chambers but I did have nowhere else to go. Not anymore anyway.

"Are you alright dear, that must have given you a wee bit of a shock" she says with care in her voice.

"You could say that, If I can ask Professor. How did you know where I was" I ask.

"Professor Snape informed us of where you were and what was happening, naturally we are lucky we got there when we did another second and I'm afraid you would not be walking with me" she says, as we approach my chamber.

Snape? He was the one who set this whole thing up. There was no way I was getting past this, as far as I was concerned. He sold me out, he wanted me dead. If he expects me to be forgiving he has got another thing coming.
