IDA'S POV
        After telling the story to Rissy and Calathium, Rissy pointed something out.
        "Do you really think that a girl under a blanket will lead us to what we are looking for?" she asked.
"It's worth a shot, Rissy," Calathium said.
"Yeah, yeah, I guess you're right," Rissy stated.
As we were walking to the front of the school, very quietly so nobody would catch us, Noah stopped me in my tracks.
"Why'd you stop me?" I asked.
Calathium called out to us, yelling in whispers. "Let's go, slowpokes!"
"We'll be just a minute!" Noah whispered back. "Come with me," he stated, practically dragging me along with him.
We stopped at the Room of Requirement, and he took me inside. He motioned for me to sit, so I did, on the floor (which was really cold!).
"I wanted to tell you something. But first..." He grabbed my wand out of my coat pocket and snapped it in half.
Something here wasn't right. "W...what are you doing?" I asked.
"You think I loved you? You think that I'm good? That's a bunch of rubbish, sweetheart. You're going to die today. And after you, Rissy and Calathium will also be killed, by some good friends of mine, who they'll meet in a few minutes. But, I want to make your death slow... And painful. Let's start with a fun curse- Ready? CRUCIO!" he shrieked.
All I felt was pain, pain that was absolutely indescribable- it was pain beyond imaginable, as if a Dementor was leaning in for a kiss, or if Sectum Sempra was placed on you 1 million times. I screamed and hollered, until my lungs burned as if fire was blown out from a dragon's mouth and into my system. Would I survive?

CALATHIUM'S POV
Rissy and I have up on waiting for Ida and Noah, so we decided to walk outside. Rissy stopped me in my tracks and said, "Listen!"
We heard shrieks that sounded like Ida's. Rissy and I exchanged a glance, and started to run, looking for Ida or Noah. Then we heard something else. "Stop right there,".
Rissy and I simultaneously turned around, and standing there was Eremurus. He had a sly sneer stretched across his face.
        "Good, you can pay attention. Now, while Noah is busy slaughtering Ida,  I think I'll have a little chit chat with Rissy. In the meantime," Eremurus stated, pointing his wand at me, "I don't need you here right now, Calathium. STUPEFY!"
          The last thing I heard was Rissy screaming my name, and then everything went black.
