Mischievous Glint | George Weasley

Chapter 61

I got up on my feet and rushed back to the castle. I had to find Harry. The Death Eaters already started attacking from the front entrance as I ran down the corridors. The crowd of students started to panic and run up and down the stairs. There I found Harry who stood in the seventh floor in front of the room of requirement.

"Y/N! In here!" He called out as I ran up to him.

I followed him into the room and found ourselves amongst large piles of junks and other unused or misused items.

"Harry what exactly is it that we have to find?" I asked

"A tiara. Keep your eyes peeled for it." Harry replied and ran off down into another pathway.

I kept looking for the tiara everywhere I could. But how can I find a single tiara  where a million of those could be in here. I still continued to search for the tiara since it was another piece of soul of Voldemort's.

I then heard faint mumbles of a number of people. No one was here except for Harry and I. Following the mumbles, I came across Harry who was looking at his forward to a group of three people. Malfoy, Goyle and Zabini.

They held up their wands straight at Harry. Then the blonde's attention turned to me making Harry look at me. Goyle turned to me, now pointing his wand at me. I did the same. My gaze shifted at Blaise Zabini who's eyes were looking at me with a look guilt spread across his face.

"You have something of mine. And I'd like it back!" Draco turned to Harry who casually stood there, not fearing him.

"What is wrong with the one you have?" Harry shot back as I slowly stepped beside him.

"It's my mother's. It's powerful but it's not the same. Doesn't quite understand me. Know what I mean?" Draco replied.

"Why didn't you tell her Draco? Bellatrix." Harry asked calmly. "You knew it was me. You didn't say anything."

Draco stood there without a word, still pointing his wand at him. I knew he didn't have the free will to choose. He was being forced and threatened to follow the orders of Voldemort.

"Draco, don't be a prat." Goyle warned him, wand still pointed at me with mine at him.

Draco's arm still shook like it was gonna fall off. He didn't have the guts to harm anyone anymore. Goyle then quickly threw a killing curse at us but I covered for Harry creating the same powerful sheild with my magic.

Hermione came in view and threw a counter attack but the three already began to run. Ron them started chasing them from behind, dissapearing in the pathway of junks.

"That's my girlfriend, you numpties!" He bellowed.

"What the fuck?" I turned to Hermione, my eyes widened.

"It's a long story." Hermione replied.

We then started to climb up the piles of junks to reach the Horcrux which we noticed was sitting on top. Harry then reached out his hand and grabbed it. Just then Ron came running back and screaming making his usual hilarious terrified face.

"Run! Goyle set the bloody place on fire!" Ron grabbed Hermione's hand and started running.

The flames came roaring at us where we stood. Harry and I began to run as we tipped over the piles to slow down the fire but that didn't work at all. We continued to run as fast we could from the flame. Hermione then grabbed brooms from a corner and passed it to us.

We mounted on them and flew through the air at top of the room. There I noticed two figures climbing helplessly on pile of the junks which hadn't burned yet.

"We can't leave them in here!" Harry shrieked, also noticing.

"He's joking right?" Ron asked.

Harry and I turned our brooms in a U-turn and flew back to them. Ron and Hermione followed behind us.

"If we die for them Harry, Im gonna kill you!" Ron yelled and grabbed Zabini up onto his broom.

Harry flew past Draco, missing his hand. I speeded up, coming from behind him next and successfully swooped down and grabbed his hand tightly pulling him onto my broom. He wrapped his arms tightly around my waist and buried his head in the back of neck.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." I heard Draco's muffled apologies from behind.

We pushed ourselves towards the exit as the fire grew bigger, burning the place into ashes. We flew as fast as we could towards the open door. We launched towards the floor and soon as we reached it, made us hit the ground and roll over everywhere from our brooms. Malfoy and Zabini had already scurried off.

We sat up, groaning in pain. Just then my gaze turned to Harry who was kneeling over the tiara. Hermione threw him the Basilisk fang and he stabbed it immediately. Black smoke started coming out of it, just like the locket we destroyed back in the forest.

I quickly acted and kicked it into the fire. Making it explode in the fire. Another Horcrux destroyed.
