Barry Smith: Together Forever?
Oooh, I love leaving my readers in suspense! Though I’m sure it is really crappy suspense because I’m such a lousy story writer. I have the ideas, they just don’t go down well on paper. Maybe parchment would help??

Where were we? Oh yeah.

Suddenly…The door began to creep open and in stepped………………Draco Malfoy, Dickey Green, The Sneaky Gryffindor, Lavender Brown and last but not least, the anonymous, evil one, yep, you guessed it, Professor Sybill Trelawney. I suppose you didn’t get that. But yes, Professor Trelawney is of very evil breeding. More on her later.

Harry began to hurl abuse from underneath his gag. Barry started squirming to loosen his ropes. But it was impossible. These two wizards were being held, against their will and they could not escape. Nothing had dawned on our heroes yet. They didn’t realise that they were related. I suppose if you were locked in a castle dungeon, you wouldn’t worry about if you had a long-lost brother or not.

Professor Trelawney, slowly strode over to our captives. She walked with a confidence previously undetected in her personality. Professor Trelawney removed the gags and ropes from both Harry and Barry. Our two heroes, frozen in shock, did not move an inch. To Barry, this situation was extremely freaky, he only knew Dickey and didn’t know what on earth he had done to offend the others. Harry, on the other hand, was furious. He began to scream at all of them, until he collapsed on the floor in pain. His scar had begun to burn. Voldemort was nearby.

When the pain subsided for a brief interval, Harry started yelling again. This time, nothing would stop him.

"What the Hell do you think you’re doing Draco? You can never hold me here. Dumbledore will save me. Sirrius Black will save me. Yeah him, he’s no murderer, but he would be if you try to lay one finger on me. Professor Trelawney? Are you possessed or something? You’re not a dark wizard? Are you? Lavender, what is this? You’re in Gryffindor, the best house of all. Why on earth are you hanging around gits like this? You’ll get hurt. Oh please, would someone make sense of this situation for me? And who the Hell are the other two?"

Silence followed Harry’s speech. Professor Trelawney’s long, drawling voice broke the silence.

"Quiet you fool. Don’t you realise who you are messing with? We are not doing this out of spite or malice. We are acting on behalf of the Great One. Our Lord and master. Voldemort."

"Voldemort?" interrupted Barry. "You mean, You-know-who? What does he want with me?""Patience you ass." spat Trelawney. "We’ll get to that. First things first. Harry: Draco is working with me to give our Lord what he wishes. You. The other boy you see with us is another accomplice, Dickey Green. Barry: I am sure you are familiar with him. Lavender, as I know not what your motives are, explain yourself."

"I had to Harry. How else would I gain what I want?"

Harry and Barry, along with everyone else in the room exchanged bewildered looks. Lavender spoke on.

"Draco’s love. I’ve loved him since the first moment I saw him. Draco: I’d do anything for you. I’m totally yours"

"Right…Ok then," Professor Trelawney was back in control. "My final answer is for you Barry. You ask what you are doing here? I’ll tell you that. What would be the point of finishing the Potter Family off, if there was one member remaining? What would be the point of killing Harry and leaving his twin brother alive? Oh yes Barry, your resemblance is striking. You are twins, we are sure of it. Now that we have finally reunited you, the two of you will be together forever. In death that is."

Harry and Barry turned to look at each other, white faced, as Professor Trelawney’s words reverberated off the dungeon walls.

Stayed tuned for more Barry.
