Harry was running.It was dark and he could not see anything ahead of him.He knew that his persuer would do away with him if he stopped.He was tierd and at one point if time,he was at the edge of the path he was running.

He could feel that one step would make him fall into an endless pit.He heard the screams of all the people he knew behind him.

Hermione,Ron,Ginny..his other friends..all of them were in trouble and were shouting for help.He had two choices.

One.Fall down and die.

Two.Turn back,Fight,save his friends and die.

He was to make his choice,he inched forward.

"Nooooooooo!!!"

Harry woke up with sweat all over him.It was just a dream.His whole body was shivering.He thought about his dream.

Would I kill my self rather than giving up my life by saving my friends?

Harry knew both would be a suicide mission.He was so engrossed in this thought that he never noticed a sound coming.

A door from no where flung open,the light stinging Harry's eyes.A few people entered the place laughing.

Harry was shocked.One of the men crucioed him and Harry fell in the floor, withering in pain.

They laughed.

"Shall I get the mudblood?"

"Yes.Drag her"

Harry instantly recognised four things.

One.The first speaker was Dolohov.

Second.The second speaker was Yaxley.

Third.Both of them should have been dead.

Fourth.Hermione was here.

Dolohov went into the darkness of the room that seemed to expand.

Hermione wished she had already died.She had been bearing a lot.She was chained by the magical ropes and had not been fed for how many days,only Merlin knew.

She wondered a lot of un-Hermione like things.

Would I die with a simple avada kedavra?

Would I be tortured to my death?

Would my friends know I am missing?Would they save me?

Would Draco....Would he cry for me after i die..or would he marry another person?

She suddenly stopped her random thoughts.She heard something

Footsteps.

And they got louder and it approached her.

She did not know how to feel.Happy that someone was coming to save her from her insane thoughts?

Or someone was coming to make way for her death?

As her eyes had already adapted to the darkness,she saw a tall heafty frame of a man,his features not clear in the dark.

"Ah!Here is the great brain of the pesky trio!We will give you some special treatmant...Both if you will die today"

Hermione's blood turned cold.She was going to die today.And ....had he said both?Than who else was there?

The tall man's voice resembled Dolohov.He cast a spell on the opposite side of her and Hermione was shocked.

"Lumos maximma"

Light filled the place,showing a very tiny room with no ventilation,save the door that just appeared.In the opposite corner was...

Harry...She thought.

Harry was shocked too.He had been unable to help his own friend even though they were in the same room.

Yaxley and Dolohov dragged both of them to the outside followed by the others who were passing nasty comments,occasionally crucioing the duo.

They came outside to a big room where only a big ball of light was present.

There were two poles and there were two cloaked people on either side of the poles.

Dolohov and Yaxley let the duo on the ground and left.

"Why can't we just finish off with them?"
"The dark Lord himself wants to look at them die a painful death."

Both laughed evily before going.

Harry and Hermione tried to get up.Their hands were untied and so were their legs.

They looked at each other's face.Both their eyes had bags and looked pale.They had starved for a couple of days.

The two hooded stood like a rock beside the poles. Hermione saw that they had their wands in their belt.

Harry knew that once she got her wand,there was no one who could defeat her..save baldy.

Harry motioned his eyes to hers and then to the wands.Hermione got the signal.She was a bit renergised when she saw her wand.

A smile played on her lips when she saw the unsuspecting death eaters.

She thanked Draco in her mind before she did that...

She waited for a few minutes in silence while Harry looked at her,puzzled.

Was she praying before she dies?Has she lost hope?He thought.

Then,the answer came.

Te wands flew from their belt into Hermione' pale weak hands.

Harry was astounded.He wanted to tell a lot but he did not have time.

The death eaters charged at them,saying spells.

The brightest witch of Hogwarts deflected all those spells easily.Harry too joined in,thanking God this was not a physical fight as he would drop down any moment.

Harry and Hermione won within a few seconds.Harry was shocked when Hermione used the killing curse at last.

He looked at her triumphant smile.

"Wandless magic"she said.

Harry made a mental note to learn wandless magic,if he survived

Both of them ran around the Dolohov's mansion,trying to find their way out before the others arrive with the dark Lord.
