Chapter 79 - Euphoria (1/2)
When Chris opened his eyes, he noticed that he couldn't move as both his arms and legs were bound by ropes. Without really thinking, he violently shook his arms trying to get out of the bondage. However, he couldn't break free which made him start to calm down. He thought of using wandless magic to cut the ropes but stopped himself as he started to ȧssess the situation he was in.
'We were in battle and to help Harry escape, I stayed behind to help him escape,' Chris thought as he started to look at his surroundings. As he was looking around the prison-like room, he was able to remember everything that happened. Harry was successfully able to escape and the angry Voldemort ordered the Death Eaters to kill everyone except for him. When the battle ended, over half the Death Eaters died, but they were able to kill all of the resistance with Chris the only one still alive. Chris was hit with two Stupefy Charms and was rendered unconscious.
When he finished piecing together what happened to him, a Death Eater wearing a hooded robe and mask came inside the room. The Death Eater stared at Chris not saying a word.
Chris glared at him, but there was no reaction from the Death Eater. After a couple minutes of this standoff, the door opened once again. This time the person that entered was Antonin Dolohov.
”Hello Mr. Evergreen,” Antonin said with a sinister smile.
Chris, knowing that he wasn't going to make it out alive, smiled at Antonin.
”Just kill me already. Feed me to that gluttonous snake that your filthy lord has,” Chris said with a smile even spitting at him.
Antonin's face turned ugly and his face morphed into one that would normally scare any other students. However, Chris just laughed knowing that he was able to break Antonin's smile. However, Antonin quickly regained his composure.
”I would love to kill you with my own hands for the words that you have just uttered out of your foul mouth and for that vile act. However, unfortunately for you, we still have some uses for you,” Antonin said. He took out his wand and waved it at Chris. ”It's alright. I'll personally make sure that you pay back for what you did ten-fold,”
Antonin's smile was the last thing Chris saw before his body felt weak as if it was slowly no longer becoming his. He was able to see what was going on, but he wasn't able to control anything like he was only a spectator trapped in a cage. Soon the feeling of helplessness changed into bliss with all his worries and responsibilities washing away. Now all Chris wanted was stay in that happy place.
However, after a while of staying in that empty but blissful space, something was egging at him. He tried pushing it out not wanting to leave the happy place he had entered. However, the feeling got stronger by the minute and he was no longer able to control it.
