LOL sorry guys about that cliffie hehe im so evil... 😈 here is the next part!!

The man looked at me with a glare that could slice diamonds. He was straight out with what he wanted to say.

"I am going to kill you. You kill my wife Rosa. You kill my daughter Kamaria. When you just a baby, you kill everyone that I love." He spoke with a thick German accent. I was shocked. I had never even seen this man.

He pulled out his wand, which was illuminated at the tip, casting a ghostly glow around the room. "So, that mean that I kill everyone that you love. I start with brother." And, to my horror, he pointed his wand at Ron's face through the bars.

"No!" I screamed. "You must be terribly mistaken!"

But he just looked at me. "I make no mistakes. I kill people you love, then I kill you." He turned back to Ron, whose face was as white as snow. But he didn't end up shooting a curse because someone else had banged through the door, welding her wand. It was Celine.

"Celine!" Max and I yelled together. She glanced at us and looked horrified. But she turned back to the German guy and said, "Let them go."

The guy laughed. "Ha ha! Nein. I kill every single one of them."

"Let them go, and I will tell you who really killed Ihre Liebe Familie." Celine said softly.

"Ha! You do not know. You is tricking." The guy laughed again, but he looked more doubtful.

"Celine, no!" I hissed, though I had no idea what she had in mind.

Celine looked at me through her brown eyes, and I saw a deep terribleness within them.

"It was Nikaya Winter. But he made me do it."

"I don't understand."

"He was a muggle born Jew, born in 1935. Before he knew he was a wizard, his whole family was killed by the Führer. With a thirst for blood, he left Durmstrang with the ambition to kill everyone but one individual in german families, acting through someone else. For your family, he acted through me, 5 years out of Hogwarts with all 'Outstanding' N.E.W.Ts under my belt. He put me under the Imperius curse, made me transform into an innocent form, in this case, young Ruby Weasley, who happened to be in the vicinity at the time. He ordered me to kill your family, all apart from you, knowing you will be most affected, being put though the pain that he went through. After I had successfully killed your kin, he placed a memory charm on me to make me think I was 3 year old Celine Henare, from the small, distant country of New Zealand. My real name is Imohen Salvik. This all came back to me when he died at the start of the holidays. So don't kill them. It wasn't her."

The room was silent at Celine's confession. Several questions whizzed through my brain, but didn't quite reach my mouth. Celine Henare isn't a real person? She's been to Hogwarts before? Does that make her 20 years older that she actually is? How is that even possible?

"Celine..." I croaked, my mouth starting to dry up.

"I'm sorry, Ruby. I couldn't have your death on my conscience." She said.

The German guy, whose face was scrunched up as if someone had hit him in the nuts, suddenly spoke.

"I kill someone tonight." He growled viciously.

"What do you mean?" Celine said sharply.

"I kill you. You kill my family. I kill you. That man a backup story for your crimes." He raised his wand.

Celine looked horrified. "No!" she screamed, desperation dripping in her voice. "I told you, I was under the Imperius curse!"

"Dummkoph! Crucio!" He yelled, and Celine dropped to the ground and screamed, her legs tucked up beside her, as spasms of pain coursed through her body.

"Celine! Imohen!" I screamed, but it made no difference. I ran over to her, but I almost fainted at the sight of her writhing body. The german guy noticed me, and he stopped torturing Celine, and turned towards me.

"Incarcerous!" He yelled hoarsely, and my body was wrapped in thick ropes. He then blasted me into the cage with Max and Ron, whose faces were pressed against the bars with horrified expressions. I felt a trickle of blood fall down my forehead.

The German turned back towards Celine. I could no longer see her.

"Ruby, are you alright?" Ron hurried to my side and he wrapped a protective arm around me. I leant against his lukewarm body and wept. But then I jerked upright again when there was a loud bang, and we all stood up to see the German and Celine, duelling, flashes of light being flung in every direction.

To my right, Max had his hand over his mouth, and beside him, Ron was looking awed but terrified. But it wasn't until there was a huge flash of bright green light when my stomach felt like it was going to drop through the floor. There was another terrific bang and bits of the roof fell down, and landed with a deafening crash on the floor. Then there was silence.

------

As the dust cleared, we could see more of the wreckage. Bits of roof were piled around the room, and small trickles of light were slipping from the big cracks in the ceiling. A mist of snow was falling slowly, and the whole vicinity was oddly eerie.

"C'mon." Max said softly, and we crept over to the door of the cage, where Ron, who was the only one out of us to have a wand on him, tried to open it.

"Almorhara. No, that's not right, what was it..."

"Alohomora."

"Oh, yeah." He nodded and pointed his wand at the lock and said, "Alohomora." The door clicked and swung open. We all walked out slowly.

"Celine?" we all said. There was no answer. I was starting to get desperate.

"Celine!" I yelled and I scrabbled over the rocks, then stopped.

Celine was old in death. She looked about 40, several grey strands mixed in with her dark brown hair. Her face was slightly wrinkled. Her body were still squeezed into 11 year old clothes. But I still saw a shadow of the Celine I knew behind her glassy eyes, which were staring at the cracked ceiling, but not seeing.

That was when my emotions gave way and, with tears flowing down my grimy, dust covered face, I fell to the ground, my body racking with sobs, and all went dark.

Nothing can be said ;(

Until next time, guys. Comment your thoughts
