Chapter 17
12 Grimmauld Place
Severus slammed his fist down on the table. "We have to find him! He's been gone for three hours; Merlin only knows what the Dark Lord has done to him."
"Severus, calm down. You know that is easier said than done. We have tried to locate Slytherin Castle for two years now and still only have vague notions of where it could be. You said so yourself that only those with dark marks could get into the castle." Dumbledore pointed out logically.
"Exactly! I have a dark mark; I could get in and take back Harry." Severus was desperate. He needed to find Harry, he was just about to tell him how he felt and then, as luck would have it, Death Eaters came and snatched him away! He couldn't leave him with the Dark Lord, he just couldn't!
"Severus, be reasonable, apparating into Slytherin Castle alone would be suicide. We all want to find Harry as quickly as possible, and he may still be unharmed. As long as Harry keeps his identity a secret Tom might not be in a rush to kill him. Now what do we know about Slytherin Castle?" Albus asked, looking around the rest of the Order.
"It's big." Ron said immediately.
"Something useful, Ronald!" Hermione scolded.
"You can only apparate directly into the throne room." Kingsley said.
"The location is unplottable, unknown to everyone except the owner." This one came from Tonks.
"Albus this is ridiculous, we know these things already. If we could get to Slytherin Castle based on this information we would have done so already. We're wasting time!" Severus snapped.
"Severus please, calm yourself before I am forced to throw you a cheering charm." Dumbledore said in a serious voice, though his eyes were twinkling.
"Even the Death Eaters have no idea of Slytherin Castle's location, and can only get their because of their dark mark. The Castle's wards won't allow anyone without the dark mark in." Sirius said, rubbing his face trying to find a solution.
Remus made a noise. A cross between a squeak and a gasp, eyes wide a saucers.
Everyone looked at him in confusion.
Remus turned to look at Sirius. "No one can enter without the dark mark." He stated.
Sirius nodded, obviously confused. "Yeah Moony, we know this already."
Remus grabbed Sirius's shoulders, shaking him slightly. "No, Siri, NO ONE can enter without the dark mark." He looked around wanting to see if anyone got what he was trying to say. No such luck. "Oh for the love of—if no one can enter without the dark mark then how the hell did Draco Malfoy apparate Harry in?"
Dumbledore's twinkle went up to full blast. "The wards are down." He whispered.
That was all it took for 12 Grimmauld Place to become a flurry with activity.
"Get ready everyone, we leave in 15 minutes."
"Albus, it has been three hours, the Dark Lord would have put the wards back up by now." Severus said.
"Not if he was distracted, and if I know Harry, he won't take being captured very well. I hope you are good with multiple apparation Severus, because none of us carry the dark mark to find the location."
Ron returned down stairs, wrapped head to toe in battle garb. "I'm ready."
"And just where do you think you're going, young man." Molly Weasley said, tapping her foot.
"To fight, Mum." He said, staring back at his mother, the picture of upmost confidence.
"No, no you're not." She grabbed his sleeve intent to drag him upstairs, only to be blocked by the twins.
"No, Mum, not this time." The twins said in unison.
Ron escaped his mother's hold. "Mum, Harry's my friend. I can't just leave him there."
"But, we'll get back Harry, Ronald, you don't have to worry." Molly said trying to placate her son.
Ron sighed. "Hasn't Harry been through enough? He needs to know his friends are behind him! I need to be there, Mum. We're all he's got."
Arthur came by just in time. "Oh Molly, leave the boys alone. You know they will be coming with us regardless of what we say." With that he grabbed his wife's hand and led her away.
Sparks flew from a wand and Dumbledore's voice boomed, "Is everyone ready?"
A collective "Yes" was heard as everyone a circle was formed. Everyone grabbed hands, and Severus making sure he was aware of everyone who he was apparating with, pulled his magic, and with a loud CRACK, they were gone.
o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o
The kiss lasted a whole two seconds before the Dark Lord leapt back, eyes wide as his hands and mouth were blistered.
"What is this magic?" He said faintly. "WHAT DID YOU DO?" The Dark Lord made to grab Harry again, once again being burned where his skin met skin.
Harry began shaking and his head facing down towards his shoes. He began whispering. "Not allowed. No." His head snapped up showing the Dark Lord his green glazed eyes. "You're not very nice." Harry launched himself at the Dark Lord, his hands immediately seeking the man's eyes in an attempt to claw them from their sockets.
The Dark Lord, desperation coming over his pain reached his blistered hands into his pocket to grab his wand before blasting Harry across the room.
Harry lie still for a minute to get his bearings before quickly getting up and eyeing the man before him. The man, Voldemort, had a wand, a slight advantage as Harry's lie snapped on the ground on the other half of the room.
Voldemort stilled for a moment, really taking the boy in. His eyes drifted up to his face only to be frozen, there on his forehead was a scar. A very familiar lightening shaped one.
"Potter!" He snarled, raising his wand calling out curse after curse.
Harry dove to the left and right to avoid hexes. Did the man really think he could rely solely on his wand? True the man was quick and knew many curses, but could he fight without it? Harry skillfully made his way closer to the Dark Lord as the man slowly backed up, still rapidly firing after the quick young man. When Harry was close enough he ran at the man before jumping up and effectively knocking the Dark Lord off his feet, taking a slashing hex to his face mid jump.
Luckily, Harry's efforts paid off as the wand in the man's hand fell a few feet away leaving the Dark Lord defenseless. The Dark Lord went to summon his wand when he was stopped once again as a hand went to his face, burning off the flesh. Harry's other hand effectively wrapped around the man's throat attempting to both cut off his air supply as well as burn a whole through it. Voldemort attempted to pry the hands off only to have his hands burned as well. Voldemort felt himself go light headed and attempted a wandless wordless summoning charm in a last effort to protect himself, but the charm did not work as he could not focus on anything but the pure indescribable pain before his world became hazy and everything went dark.
A loud CRACK was heard through the throne room Harry was in and everyone was silent as they took in the scene. Harry, face bloody, was sitting astride the Dark Lord, one hand pressing against his face the other wrapped powerfully around the throat. The man's face was red, black, and in some places the flesh had been burned off leaving the face and throat rather bloody. There was also smoke rising from between Harry's fingers, showing exactly what had caused the burns. The Dark Lord did not appear to be either moving or breathing.
"HARRY." Severus shouted, quickly leaving the circle to wrap his arms around the boy and pull him off the dead Dark Lord. Harry was still shaking and his eyes were still glazed over, but he let the man wrap him in his arms and pull him away from the body.
Dumbledore looked around and then to his Order. "Lord Voldemort is dead, capture as many Death Eaters as you can alive and take them to the Ministry for questioning. Check the dungeon for prisoners." He then turned to Severus who was still holding Harry. "Take him to see Madam Pomfrey, he needs his injuries attended to."
With that last order Severus lifted Harry into his arms and apparated away.
o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o
A/N: You know, I debated back and forth whether or not I should kill off the Dark Lord in this chapter! Eventually I remembered, not all of the Death Eaters were in Slytherin Castle, and the world has yet to find out who Dorian Augustine really is! So there is still a bit more stuff to come. Not to mention all the Severus/Harry romance!
And just so you know, this story is officially up on fanfiction.net, so if you prefer to get alerts that way you can read it there. However, I will not be posting any lemons on there as it is strictly prohibited, so it is probably better to continue to read it here!
