All My Heart- A Harry Potter FanFic

Chapter 33

Once out of The Chamber of Secrets, Ron pulls out the marauders map and taps it with his wand, saying "I solemnly swear that I'm up to no good." A map of Hogwarts appears on the parchment with hundreds of dots moving across the map. We scan it, looking for Harry.

"There!" I say, pointing to a small dot labeled "Harry Potter". All of a sudden, his dot disappears. "Where did he go?" I ask out loud. "Maybe he went to the Room of Requirement! It doesn't show up on the map you know!" Ron says. "Brilliant!" I exclaim. "Let's go!"

Then, I look out out the window of the bathroom to see thousands of spells being fired from outside the castle grounds, trying to break away the protective charms around the castle.

The hour is up! The battle of Hogwarts has begun!

*************************************
Ron and I make our way to the seventh floor. We're almost at the Room of Requirement, when we round a corner and see Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle. I push Ron back around the corner and we hide there. I hear their voice getting closer and I brace myself for them to find us, and kill our torture us. But then, their voices disappear.

I look around the corner and see that they're gone! "Come on." I whisper, grabbing Ron's wrist again. We run to the Room of Requirement and I concentrate. The large oak door appears and we slip in.

The room has once again changed to suit our needs. Instead of the cots and hammocks, there are large piles of stuff. Everything from broken chairs, to jewelry, to tea sets, and everything in between is piled in hap-hazard stacks.

Ron and I draw our wands and search for Harry. Then, I hear from behind a pile of chairs just a few feet away a voice I recognize and hate. "Well well, look what's we've got here. What brings you here Potter?" Malfoy sneers. "I'd like to ask you the same thing Malfoy." Harry replies coolly.

Quietly, I walk closer to the pile that Harry and Draco are behind. "It's none of your business Potter." Malfoy says. "Now, I believe that belongs to the Dark Lord." Harry must have the diadem! I can't let Malfoy take it from him.

I run out from where Ron and I are hiding. "Expellearmus!" I yell, shooting a jet of red light at Malfoy. His wand flys out of his hand and cowardly, he jumps about a foot in the air, fear plastered on his face. Not even noticing who his attacker is, Malfoy starts to run away, deeper into the room, afraid that he's going to get cursed or something.

"Morgan!" I hear Ron yell. He runs in front of me and blocks a curse that Crabbe or Goyle sent in my direction. "That's my girlfriend you ass!" he yells, chasing after Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle, his wand raised.

I sigh and smile slightly to myself. I turn to Harry. "I got it!" he says quietly, holing up a small silver crown with blue jewels on the front. "It's beautiful." I whisper, staring at the crown.

Then I hear a yell from deep within the room. There's a light, warm glow coming from where the yell came from. All of a sudden, Ron runs out from a pile near where the light and yell came from. "Goyle set the bloody place on fire! RUN!" he shouts as he runs towards Harry and I.

Shocked, having my exactly processed what Ron said, I stand and stare at the glow of fire coming closer to me. I can feel its hear. I want to run, but fear has glued my legs in place.

Harry grabs my wrist tightly, shaking me out of my fear, and the three of us run, literally for our lives. At one point, the flames start taking shape of animals. A lion, a snake, a dragon....

I choke on the smoke, sweat from the heat, and a few silent tears fill my eyes.

*************************************
Cornered! Trapped! Terrified!

Fire is coming at Harry, Ron, and I from all directions. Flames in the form of a huge dragon charge down at us. I burry my face into Ron's shirt, refusing to watch the fire as it swallows us. I brass myself for the pain.....

But it never comes. I slowly lift my face off Ron's shirt and see that Harry has created a bubble around the three of us, blocking out the enchanted fire.

I stumble backwards, relief flooding thought me. I'm not dead! As I fall back, I trip over a few brooms. Prefect!

Thirty seconds later, Harry, Ron, and I are flying high over the flames, towards the door. We pass by Malfoy and Goyle perched dangerously on a large pile of chairs, the flames climbing higher up the pile.

"We can't leave them!" yells Harry, turning his broom around and speeding back towards Malfoy. "Are you CRAZY?!?" I yell back at Harry and Ron, who has also turned around. I stop my broom and stare in shock as Harry and Ron help Malfoy and Goyle onto their brooms.

Once they're back on their brooms, we quickly fly out of the Room of Requirement, crash landing just outside the door. As soon as we land, Malfoy and Goyle run down the corridor without so much as a "thank you for saving my pathetic life"! I glare hatefully at their retreating figures.

I turn back to Harry and Ron, just as Harry raises a snake fang and stabs the diadem. Once again, a huge amount of black smoke explodes into the air. Ron runs forward and kicks the diadem into the burning Room of Requirement, just as the doors magically close, locking the fire within the room.

My attention turns to Harry, who is leaning against the wall, looking extremely weak. I kneel down beside him. "Harry?" I ask quietly. He closes his eyes and lets out a small yell, like he's in pain. I look worriedly over at Ron, who has come over and kneels down beside me, looking worriedly at Harry.

A minute later, Harry opens his eyes and relaxes his stiff body a bit. "It's the snake, that's he last horcrux. And I know where it is."
