Harry Potter 6 1/2

Chapter 16

 Harry couldn’t stand up.

         “Get up Harry Potter.”  Voldemort was growing impatient.  “Too slow.  Imperio.”  Harry didn’t have enough strength to fight Voldemort anymore.  “Get up.”

         Harry was forced to get up.  Harry was out of breath.

         “Now, we can do all of this together.  You three, at the same time; one, two, three!” 

         The three Death Eaters pointed their wands at Harry’s chest.  “Crucio!”

         Harry was thrown to the top of his cage, yelling in agony.  When he hit the floor, he didn’t get up.  He was twitching.

         “No, Harry!  You could kill him with that many people cursing him!”  Hermione cried.

         “Whoops.  I didn’t think of that.  Oh well!”  Voldemort leaned back against his thrown laughing.  “Severus and Lucius, your work here is done.  You may leave now.  As for you Belitrix, you will guard these three until I am ready.  You may do whatever you want except kill anyone.”  Voldemort stood up and dissaperated. 

         “This is going to be fun.”  Belitrix pointed her wand at Harry, cackling.  “Crucio!”

         Harry flinched from where he was laying, unconscious, on the ground.

         Hermione looked at Belitrix to make sure she wasn’t watching her.  She pulled out her wand and whispered, “Muffiato.”  Good.  Now Belitrix couldn’t hear what Hermione and Ron were discussing.  “Ron, we need to get out of here.”  Hermione pointed out.

         “You’re telling me.  I’m getting light headed.”

         “Ron, when I say go, you are going to bind Belitrix’s body using the Body Bind curse.  I am going to make her be quiet.  Okay?”

         “Okay.  Now get me down!”

         “Fine, but don’t go until I say to.”

         “I know.”

         “Liberacorpus.”  Ron fell to the ground.

         “Thanks.”

         “Ron, you need to cut the ropes that are binding me to this tree.”

         “Okay, I remember this spell.”  Ron grabbed his wand and pointed it at Hermione.  “Diffindo.”  Hermione dropped down and landed on her feet.

         “Okay Ron.  Go!”

         Ron tiptoed towards Belitrix.  Unfortunately, Belitrix turned around and saw Ron.

         “Cruc-“

         Hermione ran towards Belitrix.  “Protego Horribilis.”  Belitrix got blasted off her feet.

         “Petrificus Totalus!”  Ron shot Belitrix right in the chest.

         “Good shot Ron!”

         “Thanks!”

         “Langlock!”  Belitrix’s tongue got glued to the roof of her mouth.  “Obscuro!”  A blindfold got tied across Belitrix’s eyes.  Hermione ran towards Harry’s wand.  She started muttering a counter-curse so she wouldn’t be cursed if she touched it too long.  “Ron!  Catch!”  Hermione threw Harry’s wand to Ron.

         “How are we going to get Harry?”  Ron questioned.

         Hermione walked to the cage that was imprisoning Harry.  “Alohomora.”  Surprisingly, the door to Harry’s cage flew open.

         “I can’t carry Harry.”

         “I know.  Mobilicorpus.”  Harry was levitated a few inches above the ground.  They started walking towards the edge of the forest when Hermione stopped short.  She turned towards the limp elf hanging from the tree.  “Lilac!”

         “Hermione, we have to leave her.  We can’t help her.  She’s dead.”  Ron stated.

         “I know.  I just feel bad for her.”

         “It’s okay.”

         “Bye Lilac.”  Hermione, Ron, and Harry made their way into the darkness of the forest.
