●Y/N's POV●

I begin walking. I'm feeling nervous, maybe a little scared, but ready and proud..

I climb the three steps that lead to the doorway. Once I face the door, my hand reaches the doorknob. I turn it and with a soft *click* the door swings open.

The hinges scream, whilst dust travels on the thin air. The smell of closure hits my nostrils, as the wooden floor creaks at my weight.

I study my surroundings, to make sure I'm safe, for the time being at least. Nothing attracts my attention, so I walk deeper into the strange and mysterious house.

It definitely is abandoned, but since I appeared here, it has to be something important.. Suddenly, I hear a soft melody, like a music box.

I follow the sound of the music. I enter a room, that has a sheet on the wall. Voices come from behind it.. My eyes go wide as I realize whose voice it is; Lucius Malfoy.

"What is he doing here?" I whisper to myself. Footsteps follow and get louder by each step they make. The adrenaline rushes in my veins, as I realize that I'm about to be spotted.

I walk silently and duck under a table with long tablecloth. "Yes, my Lord. I won't disappoint you." I hear Lucius say.

"Yes, Lucius. Make sure to keep your word. Because if you actually disappoint me, you'll suffer the consequences." says a voice.

A voice that makes cold sweat appear on my forehead, my body hair to raise and a knot in my stomach..

Panic raises in me, as I hear them move again. Voldemort seems to leave and Lucius sighs. "Count on me, my Lord."

I can't hold my breath any longer, so the tiniest sound escapes my lips. My heartbeat's speed increases, as if it's a trapped bird in a cage.

Lucius matters a spell and the table I'm under flies off and falls on the floor with a loud crash, as the wooden feet break.

I quickly rise to my feet and take my wand out. With no hesitation, I make the first move. "Expelliarmus!" I yell and his wand falls in front of my feet. I step on it and break it into two pieces.

My next move is to get him out of the way. But using the most powerful and unforgivable curse on him feels wrong..

An idea pops in my mind; "Orbis!" I say and he gets sucked into the wooden floor, until his lower body is covered. Bellatrix Lestrange emerges in, with wide eyes.

"Locomotor Mortis" I mutter and her feet get glued together. She struggles to separate them, but fails and falls on the ground. "Expelliarmus!" I repeat the same spell and her wand flies and hits the floor.

Lucius then laughs hysterically. "You foolish little girl. You think you're going to just get past us just like that?". I look at him in disgust.

"Wait until I prove you my intentions." I spit out. "You're going to regret even looking at us in the eyes!" Bellatrix shouts. I scoff, looking at her in disbelief.

"You think you're in a state to speak?!" I shout back, anger overwhelming me. My feet move, as if having a brain of their own. I pass the sheet that's hanging and freeze.

"Disillusionment" I mutter and lean my back on the wall. My eyes widen in shock, as I see Snape speaking with the Dark Lord. I feel betrayed and mad.

Doesn't Dumbledore know? He's not stupid to miss something so important!

Bellatrix hops to get in the room. Both men eye her suspiciously. "My Lord, a student of Hogwarts! She's somewhere in here!" she says pleadingly.

I stay still, observing as Voldemort takes out his wand, not letting his guard down for even a second. I squeeze mine in my hands until my knuckles become white.

However, Snape doesn't take out his. He just studies his surroundings..

"Avada Kedavra" I mutter, my wand pointed at the Dark Lord. He manages to block it and shots in my way. He didn't even mutter the spell so I step out of the way, instead of blocking it.

He shoots another spell at me. His wand's tip creating green sparks, as mine creates F/C thunders. "Protego!" I yell as I block his attack.

"Obliviate!", "Obcuro!" I yell in combo two spells. My next step is the strongest and unforgivable curse.

I breathe in and yell as loud as I can. "Avada Kedavra!". Once the
F/C thunder reaches his blindfolded and confused figure. Everything goes black.

I start hearing the same buzz from before.. I groan as I raise my hand and rub my forehead, being affected by a strong headache.

I hear a gasp. "Y/N!?" says a voice afterwards. I'm still not able to make out whose voice it is. I open my eyes and a bright light blinds me, as the headache gets worse.

I groan again and sit on my butt. As my vision gets better, I'm able to observe my surroundings. "You made it!" the twins say and hug me tight.

A smile makes its way on my lips, as I remember my success and how amazing I was. I hug them back equally tight and reply;

"I made it."
