Devil's Snare {A Sequel to The Adventures of a Death Eater}

Chapter 9: Joined Forces

Sorry it's been so long since I last uploaded anything in this story. I got a little stuck, but I think I sorted past that little obstacle and I know what I'm doing kind of now. Still not 100% sure, but pretty sure. This chapter I decided to make it even more of the crossover it was supposed to be by incorporating more of the characters from Artemis Fowl. More will make their appearances later too.

Anyways, Happy Valentine's Day, and I hope you like it. =)

Artemis

            Green eyes stared into sapphire ones. It felt just like old times again; tension was high, and no one had spoken a word yet. For some reason, I was not surprised to see him and his friends standing before us. I assumed they were out hunting Horcruxes, though I hadn’t anticipated running into them at any given point.

            “What are you doing here?” he asked. “Shouldn’t you be back in your comfy little mansion?”

            I almost forgot how arrogant he was. “Not unless I wanted us all to be dead.”

            “Someone wants you dead? Why does that not surprise me?” he shot.

           I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. “It’s Voldemort,” I stated boldly. “And I had a feeling he would be coming after me sooner or later.” I paused for a moment, contemplating my next move. “Why are you three running around? Destroying Horcruxes, I presume?”

           “How did you-” Hermione started, but I cut her off.

           “-know? Well, until last night I’m fairly sure our girlfriends were friends, Harry,” I stated.

           “What do you mean they were friends?” he asked back.

           “She sent Audrey a Howler, basically calling Audrey careless and stupid for trying to keep herself safe,” I hissed. “As I’m sure you know Voldemort tracks down everyone close to you, so honestly I’m surprised he hasn’t gone after her yet too. Unless of course he doesn’t find her a threat.”

           I saw Harry clench his teeth. I knew I was getting under his skin. It was just like old times again. Ron placed a hand on Harry’s shoulder, in an attempt to calm him, though I don’t think it was effective.

           “So… Horcruxes?” Audrey brought up. I had almost forgotten she was sitting next to me.

           Ron barely nodded. “Yea, we just found one. We just got to destroy it now.”

           Hermione elbowed him, as if not to say anything else on the subject. “It doesn’t matter to you guys. It’s none of your business."

           Her attitude didn’t really shock me. Hermione always had been an insufferable know-it-all. I sighed. “Look, it seems we’re all in the same boat,” I decided. “Voldemort wants us all dead, for one reason or another. Perhaps we should team up?”

           “What?! No!” Draco protested. I shot him a glare, and he dropped his argument.

            “Divided we don’t stand a chance; you all know that,” I went on. “If we’re together, we have a better chance of survival.”

           The three of them finally sat down next to the fire, hoping it would help dry them off. I wanted to laugh at them, but my instincts told me not to. Right now I needed to convince them to join up with us. But how?
