A Gathering Storm (Harry Potter love story)

Chapter 31: Prophecy

"Harry!" Harry was instantly by my side as we spotted another death eater approaching us from a different row. All of us backed up. Back's to one another. Wands at the ready, if need be. Harry's hand at his side I slide my hand to his his. Fingers pressed on the orb. He then slightly moved in front of me.
"Where's Sirius?" He called at the death eater in front of us. Another death eater approached Neville's hall. I could feel his body tense up. This was looking good.
"You should really know how to tell the difference between dreams..." The Death eater slowly walking towards Harry and I grabbed for the stick at his side and whipped it in front of his mask. Revealing his face. "...And reality".
Lucius Malfoy stared back at us.
Draco's ignorant and egotistical father. And loyal servant to the dark lord.
"You saw what the dark lord wanted you to see". His sharp voice echoing through the halls. Harry's face held firm. As did all of ours. My eyes danced from each member of out group to the now six loyal followers of us, encasing us.
"Now hand me the prophecy!" Lucius demanded, out starching his right arm. Harry's grip on the orb only tightened.
"If you do anything to us then I'll break it!". He shot back at Draco's father. Mouth slightly opened Lucius glared at Harry then to the blue orb down in his hand, my fingers still pressed onto it. His eyes soon slid to mine and his mouth curved into a grin.
"Cassie Lovelace". He uttered my name. A shiver went down my spine. "Lovely to finally meet you". My eyebrows arched as I glared at him.
"She looks just as beautiful as her mother, doesn't she Marcus?"
No.
Pleas no. It cant be.
As he uttered that fowl name a figure from the shadows made his presence known. A male dressed in all black with his brown hair tied back grinned crookedly at me. His sharp teeth broke up those memories of that night in me and i just stared at him. Dread in casing me.
"Aye she does, Lucius". He replied. "Though Ruth was more elegant".
I would never forget his deep voice.
Never.
"How dare to say her name you fowl-"
"Now now lets not get to hasty". Lucius stated cutting me off. Marcus smiled as i pulled my wand closer to him. I was not about to let him get out of here alive. He needed to pay for what he did. Not just for killing my parents but for everything he's ever done. This cruel man did not deserve to live another day. Not now. Not ever.
"Wouldn't want another death in the family on our hands, now would we sweetie?'
That was it. I moved in front of Harry and raised my wand at him. He needed to die now. I pushed myself away from the group, however before i could even get inches away, Harry pulled me back. I looked up at him, a raging fire in my eyes and he shook his head. Now was not the time. I sighed and moved back behind him. Not one, but soon.
"Now lets, everybody just calm down. All we want is that prophecy".
Calm down my ass. Death eater's were not calm. Nor were they merciful. Especially not Marcus. I could sense Harry didn't believe them either.
"Why did Voldemort need me to come and get this". Harry questioned Malfoy. As he held up the orb.
"You dare speak his name you pathetic-"
I growled at Marcus as he growled at Harry.
"Enough Marcus''. Lucius ordered. "He's just curious. Prophecies can only be retrieved about hum they are made. Which is luck for you i suppose".
Glancing around I noticed that the rest of the death eaters were moving in. Quickly closing in on the rest of us. Whatever Harry was going to do. he needed to do it quickly, before one or all of us were attacked.
"Haven't you always wondered what was the reason for the connection between you, and the dark lord? How he was unable to kill you when you were just an infant?"
Quickly I glanced at Harry. Don't do it. Don't give it to him. He read my eyes and tipped his head to me slightly so that none fo them could see it. The exchange that was shared. The promise.
"All the answers are there. In your hand. All you have to do is give it to me".
"Ive waited fourteen years". Harry finally spoke. A dullness to his voice.
"Oh I know". That fake empathy in his voice wasn't convincing to any of us.
Harry smiled, "Guess I can wait a little longer". And with that chaos erupted. Aiming my wand at Marcus I screamed out stupefy and as did the rest of us. Blue lights roared out of our wands, sending some of the death eaters soaring backwards. A few managed to escape, but that didn't matter now. Following after Harry we raced down the main hall. Trying to get out of this place. Backing into one alley we came to a holt as a black cloud of smoke faced us. Backing away it as Lucius appeared we raced to another alley. Just trying to find away out of here without getting caught. Moving quickly as we could without breaking or moving any other orbs. I managed to get myself dragged away, intentionally from the rest of them. A black cloud roared itself to life inches in front of me. Marcus appeared straight out of it and smirked so wide that i wanted to just kill him where he stood. He flicked his wand at me, managing to catch me off guard. The spell sent me flying backwards. I landed with a thud on the metal flooring. Blood running into my mouth from the open cut on my lip. I growled back at him as he puffed himself on top of him. Reaching for my wand I casted a new spell on him. Livecourtus. He rightfully so was flying backwards, down the long hall.
    "Cassie!" Ron's shouting filled my ears as he held out his hand for me to take. taking it he dragged me back to the rest of the group. Casting spells left and right. Trying to get those eaters off our tail.
Perfectly timed. All of us seemed to meet back up at the center of the room. Harry's eyes went straight to the cut on my lips and he clenched his teeth. Later. I flashed in my eyes. these had to come later. Right now we needed to get out of here.
   "Over here". Neville spotted the door we just come in, at the end of the hallway. Not wasting anymore time as the shelves of prophecies began to fall forward, causing the next one to fall. Harry glanced at all of us and we followed him to the door.

Sorry for long delays between chapters.
I suck at writing dangerous, fight scenes. I'm trying to get better at it, but you'd think something who reads loads of fantasy novels would know how to be somewhat good at it by now. But nope lol. Oh well. At that to the list of things I need to work on this year.
