Barry Smith: Good Versus Evil |
Barry Smith: Good Versus Evil Meanwhile, back at the Hogwarts Castle, things were in a state of panic. Ron and Hermione had gone to Dumbledore to report that Harry was missing, just as Myrtle had arrived to tell the Professor of Harry and Barry’s location. Dumbldore sent Hedwig to fetch Sirrius Black and bring him to Hogwarts to aid in Harry’s rescue. He then set off to the hidden dungeon with Professor McGonnagall, Snape and the returned DATDA Teacher, Professor Lupin. The four teachers, led by Dumbledore and Fawkes, crept cautiously along the passage leading to the dungeon. Dumbledore broke down the door, and all the teachers held their wands ready. They were astonished to find the dungeon empty. "They’re gone Dumbledore," Cried Professor McGonnagall. "Vanished without a trace." "My dear Minerva, you have been at this school under my instruction for how many years? It is not possible that Harry and Barry could have vanished without a trace. They are somewhere around this school or the town of Hogsmeade. We just need to find out where." Suddenly, a large black dog bounded into the dungeon. He transformed from a dog into Sirrius Black on the floor of the dungeon. When he saw that neither Harry or Barry were in the dungeon, he quickly transformed back into the dog and started to sniff the ground of the dungeon. He smelt along the wall that our heroes had gone through and raced out of the dungeon as fast as possible. Dumbledore and the others followed. Sirrius set a blinding pace and the others were soon quite worn out. Professor McGonnagall had turned into a cat so that she would be faster. On the way to Hogsmeade, they passed Hagrid’s Cabin and stopped outside the door. Hagrid emerged with his crossbow and led the others to a group of unicorns he had acquired for his classes to study. Professor McGonnagall transformed back into a human and everyone grabbed a unicorn and followed Sirrius to the cave where Harry and Barry were. At the cave, Draco, Dickey, Peter and Professor Trelawney were moving the good Barry’s body aside. Nagimi was again circling Voldemort’s chair. Evil Barry was holding his wand ready, so that Harry could not move an inch. Everything was very tense and quiet, until, the loud barking of a big, black, dog pierced the quiet air. Sirrius," thought Harry. "I’m safe at last!" Voldemort must have detected Harry’s relief, because just as he thought this, his scar started to burn again. As if out of nowhere, three animals appeared at the entrance to the cave. A dog, a cat and a phoenix, who flew gracefully over to Harry and landed on his shoulder. The dog and cat transformed and were joined by Dumbledore, Snape, Lupin and Hagrid, who all had wands at the ready. Draco and Dickey, by this time were really scared. They fled from the cave. Professors Snape and McGonnagall went over to Peter, Professor Trelawney and the body of good Barry. As the others had no wands, Snape and McGonnagall had no trouble binding them up with magical ropes. They stood guard over the body of Barry. Hagrid had put away the wand he was holding, and drew his crossbow once again. He fired an arrow straight at Nagimi, who now lay lifeless at the floor of Voldemort’s chair. Sirrius, Dumbledore and Lupin all joined Harry’s side. Hagrid, from across the other side of the cave, threw his wand to Harry. They were now ready for battle. Good versus Evil. All wands were drawn. Voldemort had risen from his chair. Not a single sound was uttered, until, Barry screamed; "Avada Kedrava!!!!" His wand was pointing directly at Harry. Coming up next, Barry Smith: Unforgivable |
