THE HALLOWEEN BALL

Harry gave a bitter laugh and turned his head to face Ron then with a flick of his wand Ron was silenced, turning to face harriate yet again he blaintantly thre her to the floor at his feet then knelt down mockingly "see..worthless..pointless..barely even living..do you belive me now?" he asked wand held pointed in the direction of Harriate "so weak..so..defensless..so worthless.." with a crule smile he spoke.

there was a moment of confusion of fighting within the real Harry was trying to get through but Voldemort was to overpowering and Harry didn't have the enrgy then with and strecht of the head he stood wand aimed and ready to be casted towards Harriate.."i said..do you blive me now?"

Rose was on her knees now, both in pain and fear from Harriate and fury from Harry...or whoever was in Harry. Her hands were clenched in fists, he knuckles white and her nails drawing blood from her palms. She was biting her lip too, trying to stifle whimpers and screams.

Harriate gazed down feeling her elements stiring again and knew what she had to do. She raised her gaze back up meeting the dark lord straight in the eye as her normal eye colour shone through rather than the amber of the wolf.
She focused on ehr anger and knew what she had to do. She tried to focuse on her elements, specificaly the lightnign element and only using a small portion of the unburnt energy she summoned a small ball of lightning into her hand, enough to cause only slight damage and oushed her hand up at his chest.

Pandora was running late as always.

Her black cat suit blened in well with the dark shadows..wouldn't be to hard to hide tonight if she wanted to be left alone.

She walked into the great hall she sensed something awdul was happening. She started looking around the room...noticing a crowd looking at people in the middle she ran toward them.

"Harry James Potter...Take your hands off of her", she yelled.

"Stupify" she said casting the spell on Harry.

Hermione reached forward and grabbed Harrys arm, pulling away him away from Harriate.

"Harry.." She pleaded, her face concerned "Calm down please.. Whats going on?"

Ron knew whatr was going on, it had happend before.."Protego!" He yelled, defending them from pandora's spell. Ron moved forward and grabbed Harrys left arm "Harry.." he said softly. "Harry, remember when we first met? there was no room on the train..no compaartment, then Hermione came in..as smart as she is.." he chuckled a little "She did that spell on your glasses and told me I had dirt on my Nose.."

"And..and remember we used to play wizards chess? all the time, I'd win normally." Ron laughed a little.

"We're here for you mate...don't ever forget that, your our friend and we'll never ditch you..or..or forget you or anything like that..be strong Harry.." Ron nodded.

Rose unclenched her fists, put her head in her hands and began to cry. Her gothic make-up was smudging, but it didn't matter. She felt so angry and worried and relieved and so many other things besides...

Hermione kept the strongest grip on Harrys arm she could manage, she was determind not to let him go. She noticed he was starting to struggle less and less, she could feel him getting weaker.

Ron also kept a strong grip, his nails where actually digging into his arm and causing marks, he wasn't going to let go. "Love..!" Ron said to Hermione "Use love..happy memories!"

Harriate looked up at him from the floor eyes wide in fear before finaly the training shed tried so hard to surpress kicked in.
She quickly took control of her emotions blending them all in to her survival instinct blanking her face of any emotions. She felt the power of surpressed elements runnning through her and knew she had to take control soon as fire burnt around her closed fists and ehr eyes became blank and emotionless. She forced the elements into helping her stand and stood straight staring at Potter and leant forwards to whisper in his ear.
'I'm only pathetic because that's how you made me. This is me. This is who i am meant to be and who i hide. If you don't like it tought. I'm not out to please anyone anymore. I am Silver Serpent E/H student, trained to fight. Harriate Riddle dies here.'

"Well since Ron has it all under control..theres no need for an adult here", she said walking away.

Hermione nodded to Ron, feeling slightly dazed, why hadn't she thought of that before?

"Harry.. rememeber when you won your first Quidditch game? You swallowed the snitch.. we all though you were going to throw up.." She laughed slightly, thinking desperatley for something else to say but her mind had gone blank because of how worried she was feeling.

Rose collapsed forwards, twitching slightly under the weight of Harriate's anger and power. It was too much for her to handle: she was completely unconscious.

Hermione noticed Pandora walking away and shouted after her "Wait! Somethings wrong with Harry.. I think he's having a vision or something.." She shouted desperatley, hoping she would turn back.

Harry struggled more in there grip as he tried to kick out towards Harriate Voldemorts voice rang true again "you will die..and i will see to it that it is at my hands!" struggerling again a flicker of surpise sparked across his face she was an elemental..a threat.

Before he could speak again he felt soft lips press against his own and a feeling of warth spread, the real Harry kissed back then kicked out last time before he felt the breath leave him then he slipped out of Hermione and Rons grip and fells forward to hands and knees weak and tired he struggled to breath as he fell to a heap exhausted wincing slightlly the last word he spoke was "ginny..." with that darkness comsumed him and he fell unconsious against the cold floor, acheing.
