He didn't want to wake up his dad but he did. 'Scorpius? ' his dad's voice sounded weak in the darkness compared to the voice in his head, the pounding in his chest and his shallow breaths.

'Where's, Albus? ' his dad asked coming to sit next to his son. 'He's b-back with her' he stammered, falling into his dads lap. 'Where?, where has she taken him? '
'The place before, the same place as before'
'How much time? '
'She didn't say! I don't know if she's already! Well you know killed him! ' he sobbed.
'Will have to go now then' Draco said getting up and pulling up Scorpius as well.

'Are we sure this will work' his voice was uncertain as he spoke.
'Not entirely but it's the best we've got'  replied Ginny.
'Seriously we've already tried cornering her too many times' Muttered Ron 'What? It is true' he flung his hands up into the air. Everyone's eyes were on him. 'What I am saying is that we need a new plan'
'We really don't have time Ronald' Hermione said 'so we're gonna have to go with what we have'

They made their way again though the same corridors they went through before, dark, gloomy corridors. Something felt off this time, worse than the last.

'Where is she? ' Albus looked up at the sound of Scorpius' voice.
'I don't know, she mentioned something about a chamber? And thank Dumbledore you're here' his voice was incredibly weak.
